regional setting. Actually i want a date in mm/dd/yyyy. But i get date as

of os or regional setting.

Convert the date to a string with the proper format using the various date
functions available: day(), month(), year(). This way, you are in control,
rather than the Regional Settings.

To make a variable be in the format of mm/dd/yyyy, perhaps try something
like the following which you might even make into a function:

varFld = CDate(MyVariable)

intMonth = Month(varFld)
intDay = Day(varFld)
intYr = Year(varFld)

If intMonth < 10 Then
strMonth = "0" & CStr(intMonth)
Else
strMonth = CStr(intMonth)
End If

If intDay < 10 Then
strDay = "0" & CStr(intDay)
Else
strDay = CStr(intDay)
End If

strYr = Right(CStr(intYr), 4) ' And change the 4 to 2 for 2 year dates.

varFld = CStr(strMonth & "/" & strDay & "/" & strYr)
