Options Dialog Box Choices That Are Set Immediately

MORE INFORMATION

International Tab

• All of the Date and Time settings are immediately reflected in an active Browse window displaying Date or DateTime type fields.
• The Decimal Separator character is reflected in any Browse window displaying numeric or currency type fields.
• Selecting the 24 Hour option displays the time in 24-hour format in the Clock on the Status Bar if the Status Bar is visible and the Clock is set on. However, if you select the 12 Hour option after selecting the 24 Hour option, the Clock window resizes to a smaller width, hiding the AM/PM. To correct this, open the Options dialog box again and click OK.
