I have just two customers with a "non standard format". One with a DD/MM/YY and one with a YY/MM/DD and we ran into a problem where one supervisor changed the format on the fly much to the surprise of other users. After a number of discussions, and since some of the other departments in the same company are using MM/DD/YY, we are staying with a single format (MM/DD/YY) for the time being.
The confusion was that the end user thought they could set it to each user's preference and we all realized that's not a good idea.

Dennis,
The date/time picker object (perhaps what you are calling a drop down
calendar) has a format which can be changed with
PROPERTY <Component ID> FORMAT 'FORMAT'
So that when you change your date format from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY, you
could:
Set date for DD/MM/YY
Set date seq DDMMYY
PROPERTY <Component ID> FORMAT 'dd/mm/yy'
There is no documented PROPERTY command for the calendar object, although a
component id can be set for the object. You could always try the property
command above and see if in fact it would work with it.
