4.3.6 Date and Time

When you set display configuration options for date and time in the operating system, these settings affect the Date dialog box and other operating system windows. The Date & Time changer also adopts the settings as you enter dates and times.

To open the Date & Time changer, click Start > System > Date and Time.

If you create records that are date and time dependent, they are stored in the current time zone. If you change the time zone setting, records in the database are not changed to reflect the new time zone setting. You must go back and manually change each record to agree with the new time zone setting.

To set the date and time:

1. Click the Date & Time tab.
2. Use the calendar to pick the current date.
3. In the digital time box, click the hour, minute or second.
4. Use the spinner control to change the digit forward or backward.
5. Click Apply.

To set the time zone:

1. Click the Time Zone tab.
2. From the drop-down list, set your time zone, relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
3. Click Apply.
