data-formatting

I have an InfoPath Form template that has some Date Picker controls in it bound to elements in an xml data source.

I know I can change the display format of the date by going into the Date Picker Properties and setting the date format. This foramt is only used for display puposes when the form is being filled out. When the form is saved as an xml file the date is always stored in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

Is there a way to change the date format that gets serialized to xml?

I'm using InfoPath 2007.
