Default Medium Date Format

I have designed a program that uses dates extensively. It is now being used
in China by a user whose machine is set up in a yyyy-mm-dd format. They are
having a problem that I need to troubleshoot. I have changed my short date

medium date format. I would like my machine to temporarily default to
yy-mmm-dd for medium dates. Is this possible?

If the programme you're talking about is an access d base you should change
the format in the table. When you change the ate/time format on the control
panal you are NOT change the saved data but simply the way in which it's
displayed

Hope this helps

As far as I can recall, there's no way to change the Medium Date format: the
Short Date and Long Date come from Regional Settings, but I think the Medium
Date is built into Access.
