Hi there,
I have just installed my MS SQL Server 2000 Box on a Windows 2003 server. I
have this database that came shipped with from my print management suppliers
that allow me track all printing activity. however one of the tables has a
field of a field type "datetime" which is recording all transaction dates in
american format. I have check my regional setting on the Windows 2003 box but
all is set to "Irish format". How can get my SQL box record dates in UK/Irish
date format rather than American format. Is there a setting that I'm missing.
Many thanks,
Liam
Datetime values are stored in a format that is independent of
language/regional settings. The client application is responsible for
formatting.

So what you are seeing is how the client tool is showing the dates to you.
