I am a newbie to TMG. I have entered about 400 names and have discovered that I have a mess in the dates. I entered some as January 10, 2000 and others as 1/10/2000. Before I go back and change and reenter of the incorrect dates I need to know how to make this not happen again.

I have been to File - Preferences - Date Format and changed it to Mmm/dd/yyyy and clicked apply. It has changed the dates on the Person View Details but not on the reports. On the journal report it prints as 10 Jan 2000 in some places and in others Jan 10 2000. I want the above format but more important I want consistency. What am I doing wrong?

I want to change the format and for it to stay changed before I clean up the dates. Is there a simple way to clean up the dates rather than going to each persons details and change the date?

Thank you.
