Lotus Notes has its own setting for Metric / US. File -> Preferences -> User Preferences -> International. If we can convince the software/hardware companies to set the metric system as default, then it will be a big victory for us. Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes Nat, many US SW companies choose to write the date code US style and not to respect the windows settings. There are some extra lines in the software and they are probably lazy to add them. It is probably because in most cases they can get away with it. I had the same experience at work and I threatened to return the hardware and the SW. They fixed it for me. This was though a smaller company. However Symantec should know better than this. They are truly an intl. company. As a registered user you should just contact them with your problem. This issue qualifies as a bug since their SW does not respect Win regional settings, means it is not fully compatible with the Win OS. This is how I based my argument and I won. Hope this helps.

I just did a remote data acquisition for an experiment running in my lab (I'm at home now) using Norton pcAnywhere, and noticed when I tried to retrieve the data file it was timestamped AM/PM format. It took me a while to notice since the file transfer kept listing a new file created around 10:00 (it's 22.00 now) but I didn't have the window open enough to see a "P" after the "10:00". What's really annoying is my Windows settings are of course 24h format, and have been for years. Most applications simply pick up your preferred settings from the Windows settings, so Symantec is deliberately overriding to force an AM/PM clock. I can't see any Options settings to change, even in the Registry. Grrrrrrr!
