DATE Problems - Change Date Format To European, Get Current Date, Subtract 2 Dates?
Need someone to point me in the right direction/start me off with this please as I am quite clueless on it at present...

I need something that can successfully subtract two dates...


eg. calculate the difference between the current date
02/04/04 (2nd April 04) and 29/03/04 (28th March 04)
...
which will then output a result of 5 days


So what I need to know is...

1.
I need to know how to get the current date from the system clock

2.
I must somehow get my date function converted into European date format (as at present it is in USA format ie. 2nd April 04 is 04/02/04 like April 2nd 04 which is not good!)

3.
and then I must actually SUBTRACT the 2 dates (the current date and a date that is given) from each other to give an integer which I can then use (ie. a value like 5 or 15).


But I have little idea how to go about this


Can anyone please start me off?

Date Format Change
I have a form in my web page that everyone enters in a date and clicks submit. On the click of submit button the date is sent to the sql server and runs a stored procedure. My problem is that everyone enters the date in a dd/mm/yy format. The sql server needs the date to be entered in a yyyy/mm/dd for the stored procedure to run.

Is there any code which I can run in order to change the date format around (FROM dd/mm/yy -- TO -- yyyy/mm/dd) on the onclick event of the submit button on my form.
The html code for my form is as follows
<form action="" method="post" name="accounting" id="accounting">
<input name="date" type="text" id="date">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give to me as I am very new to any type of coding and find it difficult doing some of the simple things.
Thanks
Not even sure if asp is needed to do this. All I know is the page is as asp.

Auto Change In Date Format
Hello everyone. Long time.

I have this slight problem with my project.

When I input a date into a text box it turns into a time format. I then changed the input mask in the Database to a short date which looks like this: 24/09/2004.

Whenever I enter in the date like 24.09.04 I get incorrect value property error.

Is there any code to automatically change a date to a preset format.

Everyone enters dates differently so that would be the problem. If what they enter changes into a fixed format eg 24/09/2004 without getting any errors would be great.

I tried changing the Data Format but I get 'The DataFormat property is not supported for this DataSource'

Could anyone help me please ?

DATE Problem - Formatting US Date MM/DD/YY To European Date Format DD/MM/YY
I have a problem whereby the user must enter a date into a field...

The system changes the date format to US standard which is MM/DD/YY
but I need to change the format to DD/MM/YY (European standard)


I have done this using the Format function, but I still have a slight problem
Format(mydate,"dd/mm/yy")

doesnt account for all dates...

for example...
if I enter 31/03/04 this is fine, it will accept it as that

However, if I enter 02/04/04 (todays date - 2nd April 04), it will change it to 04/02/04



Any ideas how I can counter this from happening?

Date &amp; Time Values In Date And String Format Differ
The program (debug) output below lists the last modification time of two files. File 1 is stored on a NTFS medium, file 2 sits on a FAT medium.

In order to be able to compare these dates, I need to round the odd seconds of the NTFS file up (FAT files have only even second values).

The lines after the file headers show the date & time value before and after the rounding, in date, double precision and string format.

file 1 (NTFS)
= 2005-07-12 08:57:09 = 38545,3730208333 = 2005-07-12 08:57:09
after rounding up
= 2005-07-12 08:57:10 = 38545,3730324074 = 2005-07-12 08:57:10

file 2 (FAT)
= 2005-07-12 08:57:10 = 38545,3730324074 = 2005-07-12 08:57:10

The strange thing is that when comparing these values, they appear to be different (!) both in date and double data format, not in string format.

2005-07-12 08:57:10 > 2005-07-12 08:57:10 (date format)
38545,3730324074 > 38545,3730324074 (double precision format)
2005-07-12 08:57:10 = 2005-07-12 08:57:10 (string format)

Any idea where this difference comes from?

Rounding up was done with DateAdd.

VB version 6, on XP.
