doesn't the date function return the date in the same format, but with less work? http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_date.asp - http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_date.asp

Nah, the date function returns the date and the time for some reason.

I would pass the date across as a double number this would prevent corruption or date incompatibility problems eg:-

events.asp?Date<% = CDbl(Now()) %>

Then to convert the number back to a date in the events.asp file use:-

dtmDate = CDate(Request.QueryString("Date"))

VB and MS's databases store the underlying value of a date as a double number strating from 1899 for example todays date would be:-

12/04/2004 15.06 = 38089.6293634259

Not to mention the fact that usualy MS Access mistakes dates, especialy when the day number is smaller than 12, so a date like 3rd of April could be mistaken for 4th of march.

Especially since i've started to use mySQL which requires a special attention to dates I become very carefull and I always make sure which is month and which is day.

Thanks for all the quick responses.
Here is the page a want to use it on.

http://www.kocken.com/kalender - http://www.kocken.com/kalender

It�s in swedish but i think you get the hang of it.
Instead af the welcome screen i want the
events.asp?date=4/12/2004
to show up.

I think Mart�s solution is what i whant, being a newbie to ASP as i am.
<% Response.Redirect("events.asp?Date=" & Month(now) & "/" & Day(now) & "/" & year(now)) %>
