In Lotus Notes how can you change the date format?

Question

In Lotus Notes 8.5 how can you change the date format? I don't like 27/3/2013 and would like Wednesday 3, 2013 or the like.

Answer 1

Notes doesn't seem to provide a way for an ordinary user to do this. This article describes how to do it with Domino Designer.

The format isn't fixed as a search turned up various posts with different date formats. Some users suggested that changing the Windows Regional Settings will change what Notes shows. I tried this and it didn't have any effect.

Answer 2

In Windows 10, choose 'Additional date, time, regional settings'; choose 'change date, time or number formats; under 'Language Preferences' 'Long Date' ignore the dropdown options. Manually type d mmmm yyyy.

Answer 3

I had the same issue and I just changed my computer clock settings and it automatically updated the format in my lotus notes ;)

Answer 4

Go to your computer setting

• Time & Language
• Region (on the left side of the screen)
• Regional format
• Choose Recommended [English (United States)]
• 27/3/2013 changed to 3/27/2013

you can select different regional format as you prefer
