Hi<br />
<br />
Change the &nbsp;&quot;DateSeparator&quot; global variable to any format you like as:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; DateSeparator := '/';<br />
&nbsp; ShowMessage(DateToStr(Date<wbr />));<br />
<br />

Hi

Change the  "DateSeparator" global variable to any format you like as:

  DateSeparator := '/';
  ShowMessage(DateToStr(Date));
