Calendar date format

[Caravelle]

:sign0085: Can someone please tell me how I make the standard Calendar component show the date in format DD/MM/YYYY ? It comes up by default as the USA MM/DD/YYYY style which can be very confusing in the UK where I live. DateFormat ("dd/mm/yyyy") works nicely when I display dates elsewhere, but Calendar.Format("dd/mm/yyyy") does not work (syntax error) and the help for Calendar.Format mysteriously does not refer to date formatting at all.

Thanks

You should use Calendar1.Format="dd/mm/yyyy"
or Calendar1.Format="dd:mm:yyyy"

Best regards.

Of course, it now becomes clear. DateFormat is a function, Calendar.Format is a property.

I have also discovered that it is possible to set the date format property directly in the Calendar Control Property editor.
