Hi All
I'm very impressed with the LHD system
one small snag for me is that i am using the system in the UK and all the date formats on pages, search pages etc. are in US format
my HTML editing skills are very poor
has anybody tweaked the system for us in the UK and could they give me pointers as to what needs changing?
thanks
Laurence
Good point Laurence!
I'm quite happy with the US format date as quite few of our systems use DICOM which natively uses that format, we switch between them quite automatically. Shouldn't be too difficult though, I'll have a look at hacking up an install on my lappy when I have a few spare minutes ;)
If they got carried over here from the old forums, there were quite a few posts on manipulating dates, particularly between US and UK formatted dates. You might try searching these forums.

Hi Nick

Hi Doug
i did a search through the forums but could not see any posts relating to this
i couldn't see an archive anywhere, could you point me to where it may be?
Hi
Look for the file public.asp in the root and change this line near the bottom
' ###### CHANGE THIS STRING TO MATCH LOCAL DATE FORMAT ###### strLocalDate = "mm/dd/yyyy" ' ###########################################################
to
' ###### CHANGE THIS STRING TO MATCH LOCAL DATE FORMAT ###### strLocalDate = "dd/mm/yyyy" ' ###########################################################
And it will change to UK format

My database is hosted in Europe where the date format is mm/dd/yy, I am a UK user. We have been using the datase for some time now with the date format as mm/dd/yy, but would like to move to the UK format of dd/mm/yy. Will I have issues with mm and dd being in the wrong format if I change it now or does it just sort itself out ?

You should have no problem worked straight away for me on a server in britain
So just to clarify, you had data in the database already in the mm/dd/yyyy format, made the changes to the asp file to dd/mm//yyyy format and there were no issues with the date data formats in the database, from historical or new data ?
thx
