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(",&nbsp;")
Response.write(monthname(month(startDate)))
Response.write("&nbsp;")
Response.write(day(startDate))
Response.write(",&nbsp;")
Response.write(year(startDate))
