    Short date problem with ASP

    Hi

    I am in the process of moving my website from NT4/IIS4 to Windows 2003. Both
    server are set to a short date format of (dd/mm/yy) however the Windows 2003
    server appears to be ignoring this and continues to display dates in asp
    pages as dd/mm/yyyy. Is there a setting in Windows 2003 that I am missing?

    Thanks

    Stephen

      Why not just use the FormatDateTime function?

          Thanks, I'd though of that but I would have to alter 100's of pages that
          display dates without the format function.

              just change the datetime format in the regional settings of the win2003
              server.
              oi?

                  Would be time consuming but surely it'd be worth it in the end?

                      I don't believe this will work reliably unless you log on as IUSR and change
                      it for that profile (and also change the default/system). Changing it while
                      you are logged in changes it only for times when you are logged on. I've
                      even seen scenarios where an admin or someone can log onto the box and
                      suddelny the shortdate format changes because they have custom regional
                      settings.
