I must have missed that post on RR list but as far as I'm concerned it would
be a bloody disaster ir mc returned the users settings. I'd rather do the
conversion myself then at least I know what I'm dealing with. The best thing
would be a property that would return the users date format or another
convert function like:
put the date into tDate
convert tDate to userDate
This would be much easier to script.
Otherwise weve got to get the date then work out the beast it is then do
whatever to it.
