Date Format Blank Title 91579

The problem with the format culture is that it includes other things like decimal separator and thousands separator besides the date format.

There is a Format Culture setting in User Account Maintenance that controls (amongst other things I haven't discovered yet) the date format, e.g. if you set it to English (United Kingdom) date fields will appear in dd/mm/yyyy format.

Hi

How can i change the way Dates are typed in Epicor9
Now its MM/DD/YYYY i want it to be DD/MM/YYYY

Thanks
In v8 you can go into customization, click on the control and change the display format (saving it as a customization & making it active on your menus).

SOME native controls seem to get reset by various app BO methods (or were just not written well and defy efforts to change).

In those cases, you can try replacing it with your own control or hardcoding .net code to enforce the format property you desire.

I'd check to see if (on v9) this is some globally configurable format somewhere in company set up.

If it's not, then yes: I suppose you'd need to customize all apps you wish to do this to. The 'good news' is it would be a copy/paste exercise once you wrote the code for one control (only having to change the native control identifier for each instance where you insert the code).

Write it well (perhaps w/ code to GET each date editing control's identifier & then pass it to the very OOP'ed format property change code) & it might not be too bad.

Perhaps some .NET wizard out there knows how to write a single module that would impact all apps globally. (I don't.)

My (almost non existent) understanding of BPM's leads me to believe that they aren't able to change control displayed data formatting. (Perhaps someone out there knows differently?)

Good luck (and is it really worth it?)

Thanks Rob for your insight.
I didn't find yet a global setting for that but I will look again.

The code option has 2 disadvantages , first I'm not so familiar with writing it (I have very little background in VB or C#,might still learn) and second just opening every form and creating a customization then looking up the control(s) will take much too long.

But anyways I should never give up hope.

What happens if you set the local region settings in Windows, which
includes the date formats. Does Vantage obey the selected region
settings in the system environment?
