Regional Tab, Options Dialog Box

  • Artigo

Contains options for date, time, and numeric formatting. You can temporarily or persistently override system settings in Visual FoxPro. The option settings on this tab are reflected in time, date, and currency output.

When you choose Set As Default — which appears on every tab in the dialog box — Visual FoxPro saves the option settings in the registry (system Windows registration database).

  • Use System Settings
