Changing Default Date Format

I'm developing a Visual Basic ActiveX wich must be able to run under many different servers, and I need to use always the same default date format (the format that will appear when I print a date or return it as a String). How can I set the default date format for all my VB application avoiding the regional setting?

Thanks a lot to anybody who can help me.

the best thing you can do is to format dates everytime you output one.

yes, emoreau is correct!
this can be done using format function!

I know I can use format function, but I still need to set the default date format. I want to do it as I do in ASP with the Session.LCID property

Without changing the regional settings, you can do it.

You're saying then, there is no way to change the displaying default date format for the entire application?

You can use the Cdate function to convert the text to date.

You can convert the Date to Text when you are displaying so that it will not take date functions while output.
