>>the page visible under VFP Tools/Options - Regional gives a good start what to care about. :)
Yep... but most North Americans never needed to mess with that, since everything defaults to North American formats. The fact that so many settings are scoped to datasession will come as a surprise to some!
FWIW, I advocated during the VFP3 Beta that these settings should default to Regional settings- as if Sysformats always on, unless explicitly changed. No effect on North Americans, but more predictable for Europeans, Antipodeans and others. A resounding "No" on that one.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
