Several European countries (like Austria or Germany) are using dot-delimited format: dd.mm.yy or dd.mm.yyyy

My reasons for preferring the dot-delimited format are: 1: It clearly shows that this is the new format (I am not aware of any national date formats using the dot-delimited format - but I may be wrong). Assuming that someone uses the "new" format with a two-digit year, the yy-mm-dd becomes ambiguous with dd-mm-yy (Italian) and mm-dd-yy (alternative US format). 2: It will not (should not) evaluate as a numerical expression.

Who do we talk to about this... :-> Tore. -----Original Message----- From: Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:00 PM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Re: session.LCID for NewZealand in XP You're probably better off finding/developing a custom date formatting routine for two reasons. 1. You never have to worry about the server settings. 2. If you disable session state you won't be able to rely on using Session.LCID Why can't we all just settle on dd-mm-yyyy? ;) hth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Broomfield [NEOCOM]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 8:45 AM Subject: session.LCID for NewZealand in XP : Hi, : : Has anyone got the same problem as me when trying to force the LCID to NZ : (5129) that dates still come out in US format?
