!! Does SeedCodeCalendar Support European Date Formats?
Yes.We've worked hard to make sure FileMaker’s built in European Date format support is sufficient for all versions of SeedCodeCalendar.
FileMaker offers a menu item in the Format section called “Use System Formats”. Selecting this menu will cause FileMaker to display dates according to your system formats: SeedCodeCalendar sets this menu item to “on” in its open scripts. Note that the menu option is dim if your system formats are the same as those used to create the system you’re opening.
You can elect to have the Calendar’s week start on Monday if you wish. Simply select that option on the Settings tab of SeedCodeCalendar.
Note. You may wish to force SeedCodeCalendar to use your system settings natively. If that is the case you’ll want to save a clone of the SeedCodeCalendar file on a computer set up with the date formatting you desire. This refreshes the FileMaker file’s date structure as if the file was originally created on your computer. After creating a clone you’ll need to restore the calendar’s global graphics (see the [[interface]] topic) and press the “[[reset]]” button in the lower right corner of the month view.
!! Does SeedCodeCalendar Have Any Date Limits?
No. The calendar can represent any dates FileMaker can understand. You don’t have to pre-load it with day records in any way.
Yes.

!! Does the calendar support European date formats?
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 is 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
!! 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.)
