.scm, not .smc

Okay, so you use the Printable Invoice.  Okay.

Understood.  The "make-date-row!" is formatting the table at the top
where it says e.g. "Due Date: ...." which is where I think you're having
your issue.

Oh, wait..  the Today Date.  That's set in the Report Options, on the
Display page.  However, it should default to the format you have set in
File -> Properties, provided you create and run the report after you set
that Property.
