Yes, I am using the US version of Money and if it would
really use the control panel settings, it would correctly
display the date, becasue my European format is specified
right there - in the control panel. That's what's not
working properly.

I also don't believe that the trial version behaves any
differently than the real version, because the only
difference is that the trial is time-bombed. If you enter
a registration key, it uses whatever is installed as the
trial and unlocks it, it does not make you re-install it.

Are you using the US trial version? If so not surprising it is using US date
formats. That said Money takes the date formats from Control Panel.

I am evaluating Money 2004.

My system is set for European date formats (short: dd-mmm-
yy) and Money 2004 seems to enter the reverse date of the
imported OFX files 20040405 (5 April 2004) as 05/04/2004.
This is displayed correctly (=European)on my screen, but
Money internally interprets it as 04-May-2004.

The knowledge base suggests to change my short date format
in the regional settings to US standard. I am not willing
to do so and think that Money needs to support *any*
standard Windows date setting - otherwise: what are they
good for?

Is there a known fix (not awkward work-around) for this
bug? If not, I can't use Money because of that and will
have to go with Quicken, which I know works properly.

Thanks

Jurgen
