That might work with windows (I haven't checked) but I know that changing SUSE 10.3 to any format does not change what I get from Dabo. That is the reason I brought up the SQL 92 standard. It's my understanding that SQL 92 stores date information in a YYYY-MM-DD format. So when I retreive date data I get 2007-12-31 (for 12Dec07). Anyway, if setting a Dabo format will work I'm happy. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
