Hi

I use the "varLocale = SetLocale(1033") asp command

go to

http://www.imaginemn.com/scripts-asp-datetime.asp

for setting the format of the date.

You would need something like

<%=Formatdatetime((vardate),2)%>

Hope this helps

you just use NewDateFormatVar = format(OldDateFormatVar, "dd/mm/yyyy")??

I'm fairly certain Format doesn't exist in VBScript...changing the Locale or LCID is going to be your easiest method, manually making the new date would be the more difficult method (without changing Locale IsDae and such will have quirks).
