The date formats the calendar displays in the calendar navigation headers and the mini-calendars are based on your computers language setting. If you are in an English speaking country outside of the US make sure your language is set to that specific region. For example you would set your computer language to English UK if you were in the UK, or English Canada if you are in Canada. This will ensure that you get the appropriate date formats for your region.

Absolutely. And in many cases you won't have to do anything in order to get this to work.

On the calendar's "Home" and "Under
the Hood" layouts you'll see a switch to "Use Auto Setting".

When that is set to "On", as it is by default, the calendar will attempt to match
the date and time formats of your regional settings. Even turning on Week Numbers if that is common in your region.

If DayBack guesses wrong, however, you can turn this setting off, and decide if you'd like week numbers, or 12-hour time formats manually.

Turning this "auto" setting off is also when you can specify which language you'd like the calendar displayed in. More info on changing languages--even changing languages per user--in [[translation]].

You can also specify a date format directly by editing the $$sc_DateFormat variable set in the script "Load Calendar Settings...". That offers the following date formats, with "auto" as the default:

-> "auto" \\

"MM/DD/YYYY" \\

Absolutely. DayBack will pickup your browser's date and time format settings much as it picks up your language.

DayBack does need to know
the native date format for your FileMaker file, however, and you set this when you're configuring your FileMaker Server as a calendar source. You'll see a field for the file's date format and you can enter something like:
 
->
"MM/DD/YYYY" \\

!! Cloning the file

Note that you can always make a clone of
the file in order to reset the file's location information. (File / Save a Copy As... / Clone) As soon as you open that clone the file will think it was created with your date formats as its default. (Creating a clone erases all the event records in the calendar, but the calendar's Upon Opening script recreates the other records the calendar needs to operate.)
to:
If that's not working, scroll down that settings page and click the "Test Source Settings" button. Once the test resolves click "Show Test Details" and look for the "Fields available" section near the end. You should see a value for the date format like this:

-> "DATEFORMAT": "MM/dd/yyyy",

That's the format to enter into your server's settings. =

Yes. Most of the dates in the calendar will reflect the date format set up on your computer without you having to do anything.

The only exception to this are the tool tips and the big white-on-blue display in the calendar header
. That date is a calc field and we've hard coded the date formats into the calc so we could display things like "Week of..."

You'll need to change the formatting of
that display ''in'' the calc by editing the field definition for CalendarInterface::DateDisplayCalc

For the tool tips you'll either need to change the calc used to format those dates the way you'd like... or clone the file
