Slash in date

G

Guest

I have a project with many "enter date" fields. I am developing the interface
with my computer and using slash-marks in dates(24/03/2005). Once I tested
the interface in other machine and the default date values were shown with
dots (24.03.2005). How can I control this property? It is pretty important
since I am developing tool for customer and I will put example entries under
the fields as a plain text. Can somebody advice me little bit? Thanks!

The Date separator is specified in the Control Panel under Regional
Settings.

To force slashes, use dd\/mm\/yyyy as your format: the \ character "escapes"
the next character (/) so that it'll be used, rather than the default Date
separator.
