Hi,
 
I wonder if anyone has had this problem?
 
On my users desktop I have installed CRRedist2008_x86.msi. This is so they are able to view a crystal report. On my desktop the date on a report is displayed correctly as 14 June 2013 but on my users it is displayed as 2013-06-14. I have tried all sorts of things to get as my desktop. From coding, to checking the user pc etc but I am getting no where.
 
Any ideas where my problem is.

Are you using the default date format?  We have had issues similar to this where it picks up the default values on their machine.  We had to change the format on fields in the report.

I hope this helps.

The default date is the correct format on their desktop, UK. I have also changed the format via the formula field but is still it comes out wrong.

Hi,
 
Tried that and it did not work. It is a complete mystery this problem. I have actually got in touch with SAP and still waiting on a reply

Hi,
 
Sorry for the delay in getting back as I have just returned from a holiday.
 
Tried as below and it works so I done the following.
 
Added my date field and when I ran it on the user's PC got the following error message, "A Date is required here".
 
I have checked to make sure it is the value is a date variable and it is. I subsituted currentdate to my date field e.g. startingdate but still got an error.
 
StartingDate value is 23-04-2012
 
I then done mid(StartingDate,1,2).
 
On my PC the value 23 is displayed and on the user's PC, the value 12 is displayed.
 
Any ideas what I could do apart from throwing the user's pc out the window.
