Rightclick on the DTPicker control. In the property pages, set the date format property to 'custom format' and just below that in the custom format text box enter your own date format like:
'dd mm yyyy' will give you '01 08 2000'
'dd mmm yyyy' will give you '01 Aug 2000'
'dd/mm/yyyy' will give you '01/08/2000'

By the way, you don't look American. Where are you from?
