American Date Format in Email

Thread needs solution

Hi,
Just wondered if anybody knows how to change the email notification from an American Date format to the UK format. Backup dates are shown as correct in the backup folder and my system dates are correct, it's just the email notification shows wrong date format and time is not correct?

Thanks

Maybe be under Regional and Language settings in Control Panel be sure that you set the OS to show short and long date formats as 4-digit rather than 2-digit years such as MM/dd/yyyy, dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy (short and long US date formats shown, respectively, but obviously you would change these to what is appropriate for UK/European date formats) and set the OS to show this hh:mm:ss tt time format? This might work by formatting what is returned by Date() and Time() functions within the Acronis code? I don't know. This is just a suggestion to try.

I think you'll find the YEAR_MONTH_DAY format is fixed, possibly for end user indexing/archiving usage.

From a programmers point of view, it is easier to write sort algorithms if the internal date structure is in the above format. It is the default in C#, RealBasic, PHP, and I think Delphi - though what the user sees can be manipulated with some extra coding.
