I guess I was not clear enough. I already use a period in my regional settings. The problem is that:

IsDate("01.JAN.2000")
- and -
IsDate(Format(Now))

return False. The second example will work if you use a MM month format. It will fail with a MMM month format. I have made a mistake in my first message when I mentionned that "01.01.2000" would return False.

Thanks,
Tipi
