Hi,I am new to Lotus Domino. I need to change the default date format for documents from MM/DD/YYYY to a different format.

How do I achieve this? Please help.

Thanks,

You can change the date format in Control Panel → Regional and Language Options. Notes take the system date format itself

You will need to customize your OS Regional settings. I have Windows XP and went into my control panel and set it as:

I haven’t restarted my notes yet to confirm if the short date is what is used in the properties box.

Of course this may not work an application form/view if the developed hasn’t “customized” the output of the date.

Later - OK I restart my notes and PC and I’m still seeing yyyy-mm-dd (Is this what all of us see?) Sorry.

Looks fine in other apps:

It looks like (I’ve hardly done a lot of research) it takes your format order preference (look at a couple of machines now) and makes it a 4 digit year, 2 digit month and 2 digit day in the order you specify in the regional settings (at least in Windows land).
