The specified date is invalid

Hello,

We have specified the date settings for our CRM 3.0 (Rollup 2) installation
as dd-mm-yyyy.

When I'm adding a date, like 31/12/07 I get a warning: The specified date is
invalid. Enter a date in the format: DD/MM/YYYY. When I enter a date like
31-12-07 I get no warning (and that's OK).

Does anyone know were to change the date warning, so I can replace the / by
- ? I didn't found it at the Messages section of the Contact entity.

The system settings are set to dd-mm-yyyy.

Thanks in advantage.

LCOW-

You can adjust the display of the date by going to ...
Settings > Organization Settings > Calendar Tab

From there you can adust the order of the date and also there is a
selection to change the seperator from "/", "-", "."

HTH,

Thanks for the response, but that's the problem.

I have set the datetime settings on the Calander tab to dd-mm-yyyy but when
I enter a date like 31/12/2007 I get the error message:
The specified date is invalid. Enter a date in the format: DD/MM/YYYY.

But the error message should be:
The specified date is invalid. Enter a date in the format: DD-MM-YYYY

So I need to adjust the error and that isn't done automaticly when changing
the Calander Settings.

Okay, I see what you mean now. I have changed this in my test
environment to see and I get the same error that you refer to.

The downside of this is, that is a system message not customizable
under any entity message.

I hope someone else in the community has an answer for this.

Sorry.

Hi SAKO,

Didn't help here. I Always reset the IIS after a change to make sure that
isn't it. Did it again, but didn't help. Set Application Server, SQL Server
and Desktop regional settings to dd-mm-yyyy after a iis reset and a reboot,
still the wrong error.

I get the feelling this is hard coded :-(

I found it! It's hard coded in the date.js scipt file which is located at:
$CRMWEBSITE$\_controls\datetime\date.js

There is a section containing:

var _sDateFormats = new Array
(
"M/d/yy",
"M/d/yyyy",
"MM/dd/yy",
"MM/dd/yyyy",
"d/M/yy",
"d/M/yyyy",
"dd/MM/yy",
"dd/MM/yyyy",
"yy/M/d",
"yyyy/M/d",
"yy/MM/dd",
"yyyy/MM/dd"
);

When I change dd/MM/yyyy into dd-MM-yyyy I receive the right error message!!

Everybody thanks for the help! I'm very happy at the moment!!
