I was lucky enough to get a badged Fine Offset (Professional Weather Station) from Amazon for Christmas. I have the sensors set up in the garden, at the moment in a temporary spot just to ensure the signal is getting through to the receiver. All seems to be well from that perspective, but I seem to be getting a mix of date formats in the 'Highs & Lows' screen. Although my PC is set up to show dd/mm/yyyy, as is the station itself (main screen shows correct date), the record levels in the 'Highs & Lows' are interpreting it as mm/dd/yyyy. So, for example, highest temperature is showing as 1st April rather than 4th January.

I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit. If anyone can help by pointing out what I have missed, I shall be very grateful.

Thanks

Kevin

Thanks Steve. I had changed the format, then back again, but I'm pretty sure I forgot to click 'Apply' in between. Done it now and it's fixed.

Thanks again....... Shuffles off with a sheepish grin.
