Comparing Dates - need some help

[Joey]

I want to take the server date and compare it to two static dates. I want to then be able to manipulate the dates on the dtpicker control.

Here is the code that I have but it does not work... It doesnt go into the if condition. The problem i am trying to solve is on users pcs there is various date formats which affect the date. 12/01/01 on another machine can be 01/12/01... I need to take all dates as one format mm/dd/yy and compare it to the two dates I have specified. If the date is between that period then make the dtpicker1.mindate = 12/01/01



Here is my code
I have an asp page:

I have a text box taking the value of the date

<input id=text1 name=text1 value="<%=Date%>">

then i have :

<script Lanaguage = "vbscript">
sub Window_Onload

Check = text1.value

if Check >= #01/01/01# and Check <= #02/02/01# then
msgbox(Check)
end if

end sub

the dd/mm mm/dd phenonomonomonon is down to the user's machines regional settings.

To get around this you can try converting the date to a long date i.e. 10 January 2001 or get the integer value of the date CInt(DATE) or something similar, that will not use their regional settings.

What is the syntax for the long date format?
