EMS Reports Not Displaying Date Correctly

When printing a report, the date is not in the format you prefer.  Possibly the "day" is missing from the date.

The solution is to change the date format on the computer.  This change must be done with the assistance of the Computer Services Helpdesk.  Please call them at x2659.
