Note: From the list of predefined formats, you can choose the System Default settings to ensure that Crystal Reports uses the formats dictated by Windows. You can alter your system's settings in the Regional Settings Properties dialog box, located in the Control Panel.
Now, when you add Date, Time, or Date/Time fields to a report, Crystal Reports should use the format you specified.
Note: If you chose to format Date/Time fields at Step 3, then you will see three tabs in the Custom Style dialog box (Date/Time, Date, and Time). The formats specified in these tabs apply only to the two elements of Date/Time fields, and will not affect the formats specified for independent date fields or time fields.
Now, when you add Date, Time, or Date/Time fields to your reports, Crystal Reports should use the customized format that you created.
