Date format

[leo]

Hello Guys

Im having a problem in viewing date, does ASP have a function to format a
date like this one (ex.12-Dec-05) aside from VBgeneralDate, VBlongDate and
VBshortDate. In MS Access its called (Medium Date) but when I use
VBmediumDate there is no effect at all.

btw im using MS Frontpage and MS Access as my database.

thanks...
Leo

there are plenty of ways to format a date without being limited buy those
constants

you can also use the .. month, day, year functions and build your own date
however you want it..
or take it one step farther by making a custom function

ASP has no notion of dates, much less a means to format them.

Each of the languages available to the ASP parser has its own way of
handling dates. You can consult the language references for details. Here
are the MS references for VBScript and JScript:
