HKEY_USERSS-1-5-20Control PanelInternational Value Name: sShortDate and Value Data: as desire Now perform an IISReset then Log offon Hope ur problem will solve ! Remember, European date format can only cause this misunderstanding when the date is before the 13th of that month. Of course u know there are only 12 months, thus if one of the numbers is above 13 u can deduce whether the writer is using US or European date format. For example ‘04/20/2010’ has to be written using US date format as there is no 20th month. Thanks--
