    Posted: 11 May 2003 at 2:25pm

I have a database, which contains a field for Date/Time.

The Field contains the date 19/9/2001,
but I want to read it from an asp as : 19 September, 2001.

How can I format the date to the long date format?.

Thanks.

Wonderful... It worked

The Date appeared like: Wednesday, September 19, 2001

FormatDateTime(r("Day"), vbLongDate)

How can i write the Medium Date format (remove the day)?
i tried vbshortDate and it worked, but vbMediumDate didn't work.

Thanks michael.

Hi,

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but is it possible to format the date to the UK format rather than the US format?  EG. This Wednesday, 19 September, 2001 instead of Wednesday, September 19, 2001. 

Usually, it is possible to fix things like this by changing to order of each date componenet (as in Weekday, Day Month, Year) but it doesn't appear possible here. 

Thanks,

Luke

Ah, I have worked out how to change the formast now using:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" LCID=2057 %>

but the day has now gone.  Is it possible to have the day as well? Or am I pushing my luck?

Thanks,

I just use the following function

function DateFormat (dteDate)

DateFormat = Day(dteDate)&" "&MonthName(Month(dteDate))&" "&Year(dteDate)
end function
