Hi I have created a windows service that open a report, set a Dataset as datasource andsend an email with the pdf export attached.The date format in the report is based on the server date format (and not on the thread culture).I have tried to change the locale Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(int.Parse( list[i].Lcid));                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(int.Parse(list[i].Lcid));CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils.RequestLcid = int.Parse(list[i].Lcid);but nothing seems to work right.Any solutions?Thanks in advanceBoz

String date = "12/08/1979";
SimpleDateFormat formatterIn = new
SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
Date convDate = formatterIn.parse(date);
SimpleDateFormat formatterOut = new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmdd");
date = formatterOut.format(convDate);
System.out.println("Date : " + date);Cheers"mm" is for minutes, "MM" is for months.
A simple cludge would be             String orig = "10/01/2004";                  
            System.out.println(orig.replaceAll("(\\d+)/(\\d+)/(\\d+)","$3$1$2"));
