Date format in Archon 1.5e was created by Ashur
How should the date be written in Archon 1.5e? The instruction say "DD-MON-YY", but when i write "08-10-16" or "08-OCT-16", it corrects me to "16- okt 08", which give me the funny due date 24- okt 08. If I write anything else I get error.

Could you please indicate if you're using Excel or LibreOffice, the language of your operating system (Windows or whatever) and the language of Excel or LibreOffice.
Also, I assume you're talking about the event data, am I correct?

I use Excel and WIndows 10. The language of my Excel is Swedish. Yes, it´s line 4 of the Tournament Info tab.

Excel uses the default format for dates based on your language. In your case, it's YYYY-MM-DD, so you should write 2016-10-08 or 16-10-08.

Great, thanks. Then I guess it´s a good idea removing the instruction to write it DD-MON-YY in the next version.
