Hi Andrew/Andrei Thanks very much for this - it worked! To save anybody else who is having this problem wading through the full thread, the problem is caused by a bug in Windows 7 which returns the wrong date format to apps such as MLO when they ask what date format to use. The solution is to go to Control Panel > Clock, Language, Region > Change date, time format and in the 'Format' drop down, select a different Country (any) and click OK (or Apply?). Open the dialog box again and select the format you want (in my case, 'English (United Kingdom)' and click OK. It seems that this changing the date format to something different, saving and then changing it back causes Windows to properly store your desired format. Really pleased to have resolved this because it was one those minor things that was disproportionally annoying. Thanks again. Richard
