Hi,

I'm trying to update an application for year 2000 compliance, but some
of my TDateFields are giving me problems.  When I try to edit the fields
the mask fills in something like this:

XX/XX/__XX  (Where X is a digit.)

The problem seems to ber that even though the century is in the Paradox
table, the mask does not show it when the feild receives focus for
editing.

Is there a work around for this?

Hi:

 Set in the control panel, "Regional Settings", Date, Shor Date Style to :
dd/mm/yyyy

 This is my solution...

Happy new year...

Gilberto,

Thanks for the help.  What I discovered is that Delphi sets up its
global ShortDateFormat based on the regional settings in Win95 that you
told me to alter.  This little trick fixes the problem without forcing
you to change the regional settings for your system. Use this line of
code in your project source or on the OnCreate event of your main form
to set the date format:

     ShortDateFormat := 'm/d/yyyy';  //Or whatever format you prefer

Thanks again for the help.
