That is a really, really, horrid thing to do to anybody's machine. There
are windows API hooks to do it but I really don't recommend it. People
set their machines up for a reason.

If you want to control the display of dates on a form or report, use the
Format property of the control. That is what it is for. You can indeed
use a format like "dd/mm/yyyy" there; you do not have to use built in
"Long Date" etc.

Hope that helps
