Thanks Anthony, that did the trick. I apologize for not stating my
problem properly in the first post.

The calendar widget date format is set in /views/web2py_ajax.html.
Note, it is actually a translated string, so you can change it by
adding it to your translation files (or just directly edit
web2py_ajax.html if you just need a single fixed format). You could
also re-assign the value of the w2p_ajax_date_format variable (in
Javascript) in your layout.html file at some point _after_
web2py_ajax.html has been included.

Thank you for the reply. However, it still isn't working
correctly for
me. I think I may have explained the problem wrong. When I go in to
edit a record, the date displays with the %m/%d/%Y format as I want.
But, when I select a date from the calendar widget it places the date
into the field in %Y-%d-%m format. What I really want to do is force
the calendar date widget to represent its date in %m/%d/%Y format.
Sorry for the misleading....
