Date Formats

Question

I have a problem with the date formats in MYOB. &nbsp;At some point during the day the format changes from Australian to American format. &nbsp;Its random when it happens. &nbsp;I end up sending invoices to clients with the wrong format. &nbsp;In order to change it back to Australian format I have to log out and log back in again. &nbsp;I am looking unprofessional with this. &nbsp;Can someone provide a solution, my Windows settings is Australian format

Hi SoulaK , does this affect the dates displayed in the program, or just the dates appearing on printed forms?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Are other forms like statements also affected?
&nbsp;
Are you working in an Australian time zone?

Hi SoulaK,&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I've passed your concern to the relevant team, who're looking into it. For now, you can back up your file, restore it offline, and send the email. The workaround you mentioned can also work.cc

Feel free to start a new thread if you need any more help.

Hi Mike, this affects all dates in MYOB and in addition a negative number changes form eg: -22.00 to (22.00)

I am working in an Australian time zone, and unfortunately I don't notice when the change in format takes place

Hi SoulaK , pending assistance from the team mentioned, I suggest one procedure to try:

Open control panel (not Settings)
Select Region
Select Additional settings, and check that the settings on each tab are correct. Click OK to update.
Select the Administrative tab
Select Copy Settings
Tick "Welcome screen &amp; system accounts. Leave the other option blank.
Click OK twice to update Region settings
Restart your computer and AccountRight.&nbsp;
