iPAQ date problem - please help

[Neil Hindry]

I have recently purchased an HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC and I have noticed a
strange and annoying problem that I hope you can help me with.

Sometimes when reminders appear on my iPAQ the date is displayed
incorrectly. Instead of displaying the date in the UK date format (dd/mm/yy
i.e. 15/09/05) it displays it in the USA date format (mm/dd/yy i.e.
09/15/05). This does not happen with all the reminders, some of them are
displayed correctly in the UK format.

Why do some reminders appear with the date in the UK format while others
appear in the USA format?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any idea how I can solve this problem?

I hope you can help me and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I appreciate all help & information received.

Thanks!

Check your regional settings on the iPAQ. If that doesn't help, then try
posting to microsoft.public.pocketpc for assistance.
