date format of references

ther
I have just started to use zotero209 with openoffice321. A reference has been added into zotero with the date format ddmmyyyy in the field 'accessed'. In the writer document, the field 'accessed ...' shows the date format mmddyyyy. How to change the settings so that all dates in references are shown as ddmmyyyy?

    that depends on the citation style you're using and can be adjusted in the style.

    The style selected was Harvard, but I cannot see an ability to change the date format. Any advice please?

    you'd have to modify the style

    change
    <date variable="accessed">
    <date-part name="month" suffix=" "/>
    <date-part name="day" suffix=", "/>
    <date-part name="year"/>
    </date>

    to

    <date variable="accessed">
    <date-part name="day" suffix=" "/>
    <date-part name="month" suffix=", "/>
    <date-part name="year"/>
    </date>

    or so, depending on what exactly you need.
