Getting Started Regional and Language Options
Setting Regional & Language Options
RxWorks services thousands of veterinary practices all over the world. You will need to make sure you have set the correct regional and language settings so that RxWorks’ accounting and display functions are the right ones for your area.
As well as setting your own regional settings, you must use a 24 hour clock and eight digit dates where single digit days or months are preceded by a zero and the year has 4 digits.
To set Regional and Language Options:
1. Select Start >Settings >Control Panel >Regional and Language Options
to open the settings dialog.
2. Select the correct language and country from the drop-down list.
3. Then select Customize (or 'customize this format') and set the time and
short date format according to the following table.
