date() 1

[OhioSteve]

I know that date() returns the system date. For example, today it returns "7/16/2004". However, I want "July 16, 2004". What is the specific syntax for changing the output format?

This should get you started:

Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date(), vbGeneralDate)
Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate)
Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date(), vbShortDate)
Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongTime)
Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date(), vbShortTime)

Response.Write Mid(FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate), _
    InStr(FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate), ", ") + 2)

Try this:

<%=MonthName(Month(Date))%> <%=Day(Date)%>,<%=Year(Date)%>

Amorous, a variation on your suggestion worked.

elegantDate= MonthName(Month(Date())) & " &nbsp;" & Day(Date) & ",&nbsp;" & Year(Date)

or you could use at the top of the pages

session.LCID = LCID Number

to set the date format
