It is not quite clear what the date format on the computer running the code is. I would rather say that the date format on the computer is the date format set in the OS, and in Windows 8.1 it is the date format set in the control Panel -> Region. In this specific case, where we are dealing with the dateformat in the entryfield on a dBase form, the date format is set by the commands 'Set Mark to' and 'Set Date to', and that date format is the one used, irrespective of 'the date format on the computer'.
