    Posted: 25 April 2005 at 1:40am
I am using a date() function in asp using vb script. It returns the date in the format MM/dd/yyyy. Whereas I need it in dd/MM/yyyy.
 
I changed the date format of my computer to dd/MM/yyyy by going to Control panel ->Regional and Language Options.
 
It still displays the date in MM/dd/yyyy.
What can  be the reason?
Thanks

the date function inherently returns the computer dat in mm/dd/yyyy format, i believe. You need to find a script to format the date, like the Int() or FormatNumber() functions. I don't have one off hand though.

Got this from http://www.codetoad.com/asp/format_date_time.asp
 
 
You can use the session.lcid property to change the formatting of the date and time.

For example 
<%session.lcid=2057%>
will set the date and time to UK format (DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY ) Here's a list of international locales. Bear in mind that setting these will also change currency formatting.
.....had been to this page before but somehow never noticed it then.
Thanks a lot

I am using 
<%session.lcid=2057%>
as mentioned in the above post. It displays the date in dd/mm/yyyy format 
But it gives one problem..whenever the date value is less than 13 it automatically converts it to mm/dd/yyyy format.
eg. i have a textbox where i have to enter the date.if i enter 01/03/2005 i.e 1st march in the database it stores it as 03/01/2005 i.e 3rd Jan
what can be the reason for this?

try



<%



'================Format a date to the correct format=======================



Function AUSDate (str)



'Declaring the variables

Dim aDay

Dim aMonth

Dim aYear





If Len(Trim(str)) > 1 Then



    aDay = Day(str)

    aMonth = Monthname(Month(str),True)

    aYear = Year(str)

    AUSDate = aDay & "-" & aMonth & "-" & aYear



Else



    AUSDate = ""

    

End IF



End Function





%>

Sorry you are right, but it should work for the database queries as well, make sure you use it through the entire process. (At least with me it has always worked just fine)
