Hi Mattew,

I did not notice your question. You solved it already. I use a special
function to get a date in a special format. I do not want to switch back and
forth with the "systemformat".

Greetings,
Ronald

The workaround is easy of course:

   FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat := 'yyyy MM dd';
   FormatSettings.DateSeparator := '-';

I guess the assignment of a string is quite complicated really.
