    Hi  ,

    Thanks for reaching out! To change the date format to your preferred setting (either from Month/Day/Year to Day/Month/Year or any other format), here's a simple guide based on the latest Sage 50 Canada updates:

    1. Navigate to Setup, then click on Settings at the top of the home page.
    2. In the Settings window, click on Company, then select Date Format.
    3. Here, you can select your preferred settings for Short Date and/or Long Date options. This will allow you to customize how dates appear both on the screen and in reports.
    4. For your specific need with AP Cheques, ensure to adjust the "On the Screen, use.." and/or the "In reports, use.." option to either Short Dates or Long Dates as needed.
    5. Once done, click OK to save your changes.

    This should help align the date format across all sections of Sage 50, including your Accounts Payable cheques. If you're using pre-printed forms and need further customization, checking the printer settings or the form settings within Sage 50 may also provide additional configuration options.

    If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to Sage support for more personalized guidance.

    Warm Regards,

    Hi, tried both the short date and the long date.  It puts MMMDDYYYY on the AP Cheque Stubs, but on the actual cheque it puts DDMMYYYY.  I also checked for customization on the forms and there was no where to change a date setting.
