    Posted: 19 October 2003 at 5:47pm

I am having troubles formating my date.  I can get the date out of the database just fine but I want to format it to look better.  Basicly I get the date like this 10/18/2003  and would like it to look like this Saturday, Octobler 18, 2003.  So I found the formatdatetime function but I am having troubles with it.  Here is some code that I have tried (the line is red is the line I am having troubles with)

startdate = rs("startDate")

response.write startdate

displaydate = FormatDateTime('& startdate &',1)

response.write displaydate

Thanks

startdate = rs("startDate")

Response.write(weekdayname(weekday(startDate)))
Response.write(", ")
Response.write(monthname(month(startDate)))
Response.write(" ")
Response.write(day(startDate))
Response.write(", ")
Response.write(year(startDate))
