Anyone know what controls the date format shown in a tab file linked to Access? (The date column comes from Access) I've played around on my system, and it doesn't appear to matter what format the date is in Access or the system date format as defined by Region Settings in Control Panel, it always comes through to the tab file as dd-mm-yyyy. Can someone confirm this is the same on a similar system? I'm coding in Mapbasic & I need to know the format of the date column in the linked table, regardless of whose computer the program is being run.
