I agree with Bill.... yyyymmddhhmmss is the least confusing as a global
standard

We also use YYYYMMDD in programming and other areas where sorting is
required since this the only clean way to sort dates in text format. (The
standard at my company for timestamp storage is YYYYMMDDhhmmssss)

Hi Colin,

You are correct, mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy are the common forms. I

rarely if

ever see dd/mm/yyyy here in the states.

Am I right in thinking that in the USA ( at least) the most common

short

date form is mm/dd/yy, as opposed to our UK date form of

dd/mm/yy? Or do

you use both equally as much...? If the former, it would

presumably be

something of an irritant to have to enter dd/mm/yy...? The

context here is

dates in start/finish times.

Regards,
Colin
