>>If you use this date format you have to enter the date in the same format. With the same sample and a date of 2001-11-26 you don't get an error, but the date format is changed to the windows setting after exiting the field.

Yeah, that's strange. I haven't tried relying on the xml data source for date formatting, usually I instruct the user about the proper date format and validate it using a script or a COM server.
