FormatDateTime

How can I use the FormatDateTime function (or whatever to get the result I want) to get the date in format dd/mm/yyyy

Thanks.

you can use vbshortdate

Response.Write FormatDateTime(Now, vbShortDate)

Result is 01/20/02.

But I only want in "dd/mm/yyyy" format. Can someone help?

I dont think there is any in-built function to give you the date in the manner you want.

use this:

Code:

---

<%
Function GiveMeDate()
        dd = day(date)
        mm = month(date)
        yy = year(date)
        GiveMeDate = dd & "/" & mm & "/" & yy
End Function
%>

'Usage:

<%=GiveMeDate%>

---

Code:

---

Private Function DateFormat(inputDate)

Dim arrDate
Dim tempDay
Dim tempMonth
Dim tempYear

'Format the input date as DD MONTHNAME YYYY (long date format)
  inputDate = FormatDateTime(inputDate, 1)

'Split up this long date string into the arrDate array
  arrDate = Split(inputDate)

'Assign temp vars values from the array
  tempDay = arrDate(0)    'Day as First array element
  tempYear = arrDate(2)  'Year as Third array element

'Must derive the month number from full month name
  Select Case arrDate(1)
    Case "January"
      tempMonth = "01"
    Case "February"
      tempMonth = "02"
    Case "March"
      tempMonth = "03"
    Case "April"
      tempMonth = "04"
    Case "May"
      tempMonth = "05"
    Case "June"
      tempMonth = "06"
    Case "July"
      tempMonth = "07"
    Case "August"
      tempMonth = "08"
    Case "September"
      tempMonth = "09"
    Case "October"
      tempMonth = "10"
    Case "November"
      tempMonth = "11"
    Case "December"
      tempMonth = "12"
    End Select

    DateFormat = tempDay & "/" & tempMonth & "/" & tempYear

End Function

---

To use: DateFormat(yourDate)

Thanks all.
