Regional date problem.

Format
ISO Date Format

Thanks Kevin. I did (on earlier downloads) change the Form properties to dd.mm.yyyy, to be more readable to us Brits, but this time I left it in it's original US format, because I thought that may be the problem. But I guess you are saying that the  problem is deeper in Windows, the fact that the Regional Date settings are different. I don't know how to fix this though?

Happy. I watched the Captain's video on Date Problems. I went into my Windows settings and changed "Short Date" etc to use ISO format. On the Food Log Form I changed to the UK format that is so much easier for an old Englishman, but that's ok isn't it, and everything works fine now. Lets get a new phrase going "In Rost I Trust". Thanks Kevin (and Richard).

Ps Richard, I've been watching the Fitness series from the start, as I do with all the videos, just trying to gradually become a little more capable with Access. However, I have a real use now for the database because my wife is Type 2 Diabetic, 78 and having some problems. Having a log of her food would be helpful, just as medics are currently asking her to log BP daily and sugar via a finger prick test, but that would be really difficult without this DB. I just now need to adapt it to focus on Carbs and TotalSugar (instead of your Protein and Calories), although all that added data won't be wasted. I hope I can manage to do this without screwing things up.

Peter Remember to make a BACKUP of your database first BEFORE making any major changes so you don't lose all your hard work if you do mess up.

Thanks Kevin. Yes, I do try to follow the master's excellent advice
