Just for general info the date problem went away with the 2004 update.
Thanks again

Thanks to all who replied. I have completed all of your suggestions without success. I will learn to live with this every Monday hoping it will go away with the next update.

That works if I do it on a Monday but as soon as the next Monday rolls around the date disappears again.
Thanks for the reply.

When using this short date format ddd d MMM yyy
‎the date shows correctly as Sun ‎17 ‎May ‎2020
This works properly for every day except on Mondays when
the date does not appear at all
Thanks...
