Symptom
Viewing any date field using RecQuery-TC browser client displays the date in United States format, i.e.: mm/dd/yyyy.
Cause
The locale settings on the server hosting the RecQuery-TC web site are set to US regional
settings,
OR
The locale settings on the server hosting the database (i.e. SQL
Server or Oracle) are different
to the web server.
