Hi Brian,
The reason for the reverse is the javascript date picker, I'm based in Ireland where we use the format dd/mm/yyyy so I changed the default format of the picker to suit our company. However the date field is set to "user setting" which means that the default date picks up, in your case, mm/dd/yyyy.
I agree that this would be confusing for your end users.
Possible solutions
- If you have access to Domino Designer your could edit the default date format in the javascript libary: show_calendar.
- Ask your users to type in the date in the date fields.
I'll post a MM/DD/YYYY version in a day or so.
