Hi,

As mentionned in the title, day of week is not displayed in the Calendar
1-day, 5-days or 7-days views. For instance, today (wed. feb 21st) is
displayed "21 février" instead of "mercredi 21 février". This is very
annoying! In the english version of Outlook 2003, no problem; "Wednesday,
February 21" is displayed.

Both versions are Outlook 2003 SP2. I haven't found anything in Microsoft
KB, nor in any newsgroup (including the french one).

I work in Canada, where english and french are official languages.

Any hint?

Thanks!

Laurent

Did you add the "dddd" specifier to your Windows long date format?

Hello Brian,

It works! Thanks a lot! But before pushing that modification on my network
though, I am wondering if this change to the Windows regional parameter
doesn't have some side effects on others softwares (for instance date
formats in Excel, Access, mail-merge in Word, etc.). Any idea?

Thanks again,

Laurent

Sorry, I don't know what else it may affect. I've always included the day
in the long date format and have never seen it show up in Excel, I don't use
Access, and it hasn't affected any mail merges I've done.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate your comments.

As far as I know, Excel builds it formats based on the regional settings's
short date. But I asked anyway, because you don't mess around when
supporting 2000 users!
