Hi,

We are generating a report from seibel in MS word. The report contains a
date field. While reviewing it shows date as 1st May 2007 in final review .
But in original review it shows 5th January 2007. In print preview it shows
1st May 2007

Please help me out.

Thanks,
George.

Looks like you've got a DATE field that is updating. If you want the
original date on the report, change the field to CREATEDATE.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your response.

I have some changes in the previuos request.

User's in UK generating a report from the seibel server which is located in
US. The report is in MS word format . The report(Word file) contains dates.
Those dates are written in US date format(mm/dd/yyyy). When the user's
trying to print this document from the desktop(located in UK), the date
format will be changed to UK(dd/mm/yyyy). For example 1st May
2007(05/01/2007) become 5th January 2007(05/01/2007).
Can you please help me to find the solution.

Regards,
George.

This may be inevitable under the circumstances. You could try using an
unambiguous date format such as dd-MMM-yyyy or d MMMM yyyy.
