Regional Settings in IE

Here's an odd problem--I have a customer in South Africa and they use dd/MM/yyyy for date format. The international standard for these has them listed as yyyy/MM/dd which is what IE uses. The client windows application uses the pc's regional settings which can be customized, so everything works there, but the web application portion doesn't work because their dates like 28/11/2007 is interpreted as the eleventh of month 28.

Does anyone know of any way to customize the date formats within IE similar to what you can do in the windows control panel?

Thanks!

I found this excellent resource that pretty much sums up what you can do in a webapp for this. Click Here

Hope this helps out.

Thanks lewy--unfortunately, the web app involved here is SSRS and I don't have any way to change its behavior.

It correctly gets the client's language settings and uses them, but it only knows the name of the language (en-ZA) and not the custom date format from the control panel.

It is understandable, I guess, that IE doesn't send all of the custom locale settings to the server, but it is still a pain.
