Date and Currency

[Master]

i have a little problem that i can't fix, in the Regional option of
the Win2k server control panel i have set the Euro currency and
the date format with dd/mm/yyyy but all the peoples that use a simple asp
script like asp ASP date(),
get the $ currency and the Usa date as mm/dd/yyyy, do you know where can
i change this on the server?

thank you

IIS will probably be using US date format by default.

It's probably best that you forget trying to tweak your server, and instead,
get your application to handle dates in a portable and consistent way:

And to make a variable be in the format of mm/dd/yyyy (and the final
line of code can be modifed for other date formats), perhaps try
something like the following which you might even make into a function:

varFld = CDate(MyVariable)

intMonth = Month(varFld)
intDay = Day(varFld)
intYr = Year(varFld)

If intMonth < 10 Then
strMonth = "0" & CStr(intMonth)
Else
strMonth = CStr(intMonth)
End If

If intDay < 10 Then
strDay = "0" & CStr(intDay)
Else
strDay = CStr(intDay)
End If

strYr = Right(CStr(intYr), 4) ' And change the 4 to 2 for 2 year dates.

varFld = CStr(strMonth & "/" & strDay & "/" & strYr)

Why all these CStr()-s, Paul?

ASP/vbs does this by default.

There are many ways to Rome, or to the White House:

function Eur2Usa(d)
dArr = split(d,"/")
temp = dArr(0)
dArr(0) = dArr(1)
dArr(1) = temp
Eur2Usa = join(dArr,"/")
end function

response.write Eur2Usa("dd/mm/yyyy")
