We have two windows user accounts on one XP Pro terminal (part of a server 2003 domain).
We upgraded the terminal, I ran a backup and restored to the new system the user files etc.
Now one user account has Sage working perfectly, the other windows user account insists on using the US date format which of course results in "invalid date format" errors.
Both user accounts are configured identically re region, date/time format, shares, SQL server etc.
I created a new windows user account and this also presented the date format error. The administrator account works fine, re date etc.
This has me completely stumped! Any ideas anybody.
Ta denis.

Date format problems.
Date format
Sorted it. 
It's that old problem with a new twist:
To fix I reset the region, date and time settings to US, restarted the PC logged on as the problem user and then set to UK settings, restarted again and all is well.
This error was more confusing since I had multipe windows user accounts on one PC. The pre-existing user accounts that were transferred to the new installation worked fine, any new accounts had the date format error - that was corrected by the fix above.
