I've set up the Files->Properties->Business->Date format
correct and in advance.
Fancy date format-> Custom-> %d.%m.%Y
Like this:

Then I run the invoice print report
and the date is not like formatted as described above.
It's like this:

I can change that however, by typing in the format I wish it to be like.
I have to do this in the Print Invoice window - selecting Alternatives->
Show-> Todays Date Format  -
Like in this dialog box:

and change to %d.%m.%Y
