URLEncode

I'm making a dll that will fire out a load of web links with dates attached to the end of the file i.e default.asp?EDate=14/02/01

is there an internal function to URLEncode the date..

I have been using the following code:

<A HREF=""" & strWebpage & "?EDate=<%=Server.URLEncode(" & PrevDate & ")%>""

Which gives the result within the output string:

<A HREF="Default.asp?EDate=<%=Server.URLEncode(31/12/2001)%>"

ok looks sweet..

But when processed by the server it chucks out:

<A HREF="Default.asp?EDate=1%2E29102115608862E%2D03"

I thought it might have something to do with buffering, but it still throws up the same rubbish with buffer on. :(

Any ideas???

Code:

---

is:
<A HREF="Default.asp?EDate=<%=Server.URLEncode(31/12/2001)%>"

should be:
<A HREF="Default.asp?EDate=<%=Server.URLEncode("31/12/2001")%>"

na.. ..compiled the dll but when it executes it throws out the ASP code without the server processing it, is there a way to encode the dates within VB itself?
