Date format in VB application independent of the regional settings

[mohaimen]

Hi,

I want to set the date format (dd/mm/yyyy) in my VB application indepdent of the regional setting of the computer so that the user enters and retrieves the date in (dd/mm/yyyy) format even if the regional settings of the computer is different.

Regards.

Mohaimen

Hi Mohaimen,

I would suggest looking into the FormatDateTime function. I think you are wanting to something similiar to:

text1.text = FormatDateTime(Date, vbShortDate)

Enter the date any way you want. Just get it into a Date variable, which is format neutral, using CDate then format it anyway you want e.g.
Format(myDate,"dd/mm/yyyy&quot
