Date Fields

Filopto uses the Windows date format from the user's computer to populate any date field. If you are seeing the wrong date appear in a date field, check the computer date and time of the PC since this is what is being used in most case. If the computer has the wrong time zone, date or time Filopto will use that date and time. When using Remote Desktop the Server date and time format is used.

IMPORTANT:

In date fields, if no data was ever entered or selected by the user, the computers will display the equivalent of a “0“ value which is the default computer START date which is the 29 Dec 1899 for all computers.

If you see this date, in Filopto, it means that the date field has never been entered by the user and the computer is showing essentially a value of “null” which is the 29 Dec 1899. As soon as a user enters a valid date or Filopto calculates a valid date( i.e. Last appointment date) , this date will disappears and be replace with the proper value.
