I like my default date format to be MM/DD/YY. I run a routine from a button within a form that prints a form letter. Prior to the command that prints the letter I enter a line SET DATE 'MMM+ DD, YYYY'
The letter prints fine, such as June 07, 2008. After the letter is printed, I <F8> to the next record. The date format remains 'MMM+ DD, YYYY' even though I have entered SET DATE MM/DD/YY everywhere I can think of to enter it. This includes all the obvious places: in the oonrrol file itself, in the AFTER REPORT GENERATED, to the ON CLOSE from the form--no matter what I do the next record <F8> displays dates as MMM+ DD, YYYY. My command SET DATE MM/DD/YY is being ignored. I simply want to restore my date format to my chosen default format. What gives? Thanks, Fred Fred C.
