And to dynamically change the SET DATE, put the code below in the GotFocus of a form (with a Refresh), that way any open forms will switch to the new format when clicked on.

Best bet is to store it in a systemprofile table and then load an application object property at startup from this table. Create a changedate method in the application object that manages the change and stores the change to persistant (table) storage.
