Incorrect date: LOTW Sent Date

I've just noticed that the LOTW Sent Date shows incorrectly, e.g. today's date shows as 10/11/20 (today is 10th Nov 2018). This applies to every QSO going back many years and I'm pretty sure it has only just started today. Only the year is incorrect; the day and month are OK and all report DD/MM/20. LOTW Received Date and QSO Date are OK, and the date reported by Win 10 is correct.
Log4om v1.34.0.0.

Firstly what version of Log4om are you using? This information is always required.

The date and time used on Log4om is derived from your Windows pc date, time and regional settings, we don't create the time and date in the code!

The only other way the date or time could be incorrect would be if it was in an incoming QSO from and external program like Fldigi or WSJT etc

Thanks Terry. Actually I did show the version of Log4OM: 1.34.0.0

That's odd as the Windows time and date are correct. It’s especially odd as all the LOTW Sent Dates show 2020 as the year, even for QSOs going back years. Although I usually run the latest versions of WSJT-X and JTAlert I specifically didn’t run these after a reboot so Log4OM isn’t receiving wrong data from them, and in any case surely that would only cause issues with new QSOs and not historical ones? The top Q is a dummy one just to show that this happens with only Log4OM running and not WSJT-X or FLDigi as you suggested. Any ideas?

Ehr Try making the LOTW date sent column wider, use the layout facility.

A picture was worth a thousand words Hi

Ah! How embarrassing! Thanks Terry. I can't believe I overlooked something so obvious!

As I said above he had the column width set too narrow which chopped off the last 2 digits, look at his screen shot!

Hi Terry,

I was puzzled as there seemed to be more than enough room for an extra "18" in the screenshot.

Cheers
