convert a string to date with ASP

[locutus]

HI
I am returning a text field from a table in a db with this line:

<%=RSreellist("datemade")%>

I want it to be displayed on screen as a date and formatted correctly.

I have tried <%=cdate(RSreellist("datemade"))%>
but I get a mismatch error.

how do I do this

Thanx , Locutus
