This bug should be corrected in the new version. To check you can compile the
development version that you find on git?

To compile grisbi:

First get the sources of grisbi. open a console and enter the following command:

git clone git://grisbi.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/grisbi/grisbi [^]

Then enter the commands below:

cd grisbi
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

/usr/local/bin/grisbi

before you must install git and the following libraries :

libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, gettext, intltool, libxml2-dev openssl-dev,
libofx-dev

i did everything as per your note, bug still there.

i also tried double-clicking the date, the calendar pops up, i selected
september 7, 2010; the correct date (september  7, 2010) is shown but the field
is in red color, when i click "OK", dialog box appear with the error message:
"Invalid date Tuesday, 07 September, 2010".

btw, archive is not working due to date problem with the same error message
"Invalid date Tuesday, 07 September, 2010"

my 2 cents: is the date picker field trying to be "intelligent and smart" and
trying to parse the data entered? can you get rid of the "intelligence" or at
least provide a date format option in Preferences?

is there a date checking routine that is generating the above error message?

not being able to put in the proper date makes grisbi unusable, accounting with
wrong dates is not accounting.

thanks.

Hello,

In fact there are two problems but only the first is important. The problem is
the representation of the default date for Americans who is not in the format
mm/dd/yyyy.
when I'll have changed the date display, the form field will no longer red.

In a future version of Grisbi the date format as the thousands separator and
decimal separator will be options in the preferences.
