------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 8 14:17:18 +0000 2008 ------- well, this would be a clear enhancement _for us_, but if a user is using DIN 5008 data prior to the 1995 correction, he might have reasons to complain... as for Leonard, it's the "never" which worries me a bit. I would say "never if the locale does not say date:==dd.mm.yyyy", i.e.: "only if the locale explicitly says so". maybe "in case on non match with locale, prefer converting to number above converting to date" I agree with Leonard when he says that it would be nice if we could specify our own date format(s) -overruling the locale- and that input data (imported or typed) is recognized as date if and only if it matches and absolutely not otherwise. if you offered this option, I would define these formats and be happy: dd/mm dd/mm/yyyy yyyy-mm-dd --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
