Ryan,

Sorry to have taken up your time on this. Thanks for your response!

I found the same thing that you did.

I haven't found any settings in which to change this item either. The preferences do not affect that particular data field.

Will do more research on that later though.

Again, sorry to have taken your time up on this one!!

Phillip

Hey Phillip,

I've looked into this and I found out that this is a QuickBooks report. Method cannot edit this date format. I would check to see if you can set date preferences in QuickBooks, this may allow you to change the date format. If the report was made from the Method Report Designer, we could format that text.

Sorry I couldn't have any better news for you.

I couldn't copy the screen print in here. So I've emailed it to Ryan.

Thanks!!

date formatting on scheduled reports

the date formatting on the scheduled report shows the year as 09 instead of 2009. The date says Aug 21, 09. I wasn't able to find anywhere to modify this. So I think it may be something in the code that requests the report from QB.
