Why do my dates appear in the format mm/dd/yyyy?
You must actively set the date format in Windows to dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy. Go into the Windows Control Panel and double-click on Regional Settings then select the Date tab. If the Short Date Style is mm/dd/yy, change it to dd/mm/yy and click on OK. If the the Short Date Style is dd/mm/yy, change it to mm/dd/yy, click on OK, then go back into the Regional Settings and change the Short Date Style back to dd/mm/yy.
