Hi,
My ASP pages are displaying my dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. They should be in UK dd/mm/yyyy format.
I have checked my short date format in Regional Settings in Windows XP control panel.
I have this at the top of my ASP page:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
<% Response.Write( Dateadd("d",3,Date()) %>
This add on 3 months rather than days and outputs:
3/7/2007
I'm frustrated :-(

Thanks, but the date should automatically show as 04/04/2007 when I simply use the Date() function on its own.
Something is wrong somewhere. I don't want to use customized functions as there is a problem somewhere with IIS, ASP, got knows. If I put the site on another server things would go wrong date wise :-(

That's wrong... In fact, customized function will consistently returns the value. I'm not sure what you mentioned here...
>>but the date should automatically show as 04/04/2007 when I simply use the Date() function on its own.
That's depends on your server's regional settings, to make sure you always returns same result, you can try use customized function as what I suggested above.
The server's regional settings will be set to UK. Therefore date will show as dd/mm/yyyy.
My server here is also set to the same as above. But the date will output mm/dd/yyyy as there is something wrong with my settings somewhere.
This is the problem I am trying to fix. Not workaround code.
Do you agree that the Date() function should display dd/mm/yyyy?

try use a customized function, like:
function formatDateTime_DDMMYYYY(v)
if isDate(v) = false then exit function
formatDateTime_DDMMYYYY = right("0" & Day(v), 2) & "/" & right("0" & month(v), 2) & "/" & right("00" & year(v), 4)
end function
response.write formatDateTime_DDMMYYYY(Da
