Error with date format

[miorta]

I'm using the french date system with my macbook pro. I cannot type in any date without an error message unless I set my system settings to US English. Most date formats in Europe begin with day, month, year as opposed to the US: month, date, year. It's not about inverting the month and the day, because even that doesn't work. It really has to do with the input system of the date... I would really like to use the software without having to change the system settings each time... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

Your date settings should be correctly respected for this, see System Preferences -> Language and Text -> Formats -> Dates -> Customize.

I am also not from the US and use day/month/year without a problem.
