Is there a way to change the date format from mm-dd-yyyy to other formats, if yes how for example to the format dd-mmm-yy (22-Aug-04)?
Thanks

Hi,
you can change date format in Regional Options on your local box (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Regional Options->Date).

How about how do we in CODE change how the date is saved to the Database.

I'm looking to save the date as mm/dd/yy (two digit year)
Thanks, Tom

I mean...I looking to save two digit month and two digit year. If they are not two digit, it messes with the sort functionality
Thanks, Tom

Hi,
you need to understand the difference between database date format and display format. In most cases dates are stored in the database as a number of seconds after midnight January 1st, 1970. This means you cannot control database date format. All you can do is to control date values appearance on the ASP page. For this purpose you can choose between set of predefined date formats in ASPRunner.
