    Date Style

    Giday Giday from Oz,

     I get confused with American date style. How can I set defaults for all charts to "day /month/year" format?

     

    Thanks,

    Bluey

    This is an operating system setting, so change the format in the OS and restart MetaStock.

    Thanks Mate, Something must be wrong with Windows XPcause I am supposede to be in dd/mm/yyyy version. I'll try again, if no success I'll reload Windows in repair mode.

    MS picks up the Short Date style, but has some limitations or reverts to some in-built defaults in some circumstances...

    Like you, I prefer dates formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and this is what appears in MS.  I have a different Long Date format.
