Hi Scott - You were absolutely right about the date format needing changing - many thanks. I'm still puzzled as to what has happened. I keep a preferences file in my "userdir" which I had assumed was a safe way of preserving my preferences across upgrades - is this not correct? I can see ...

My guess is that you changed the preference in your old LyX version and you have not yet changed the preference in the new LyX version. See the help for the date-insert function under Help > LyX Function. It suggests changing the format in Preferences under Tools > Preferences > Output > General > D...
