I have a silly problem and I’m pretty sure it’s caused by the date format. In the UK we write the date as DD/MM/YYYY, but I notice that asp seems to think of date as being MM/DD/YYYY.
This is causing me a problem as I need to retrieve some records from a table depending on their dates (in the database they’re DD/MM/YYYY). Is there a way to ensure ASP knows it’s working with the UK date formatting?
I have a problem with the regional settings. I have set the regional settings of the web server to display the numbers in this format 123.456,78. But when I open my web site all number are diplayed with the old format which is 123,456.78. I changes also the regional setting of my computer but it does not work.
I just installed a win2k server with sql2k and when i run datepart(wk,getdate()) it gives the american day of week, not european were monday =1 how do i fix that? can i set something in control panel? everywhere i look in regional settings I see it all set to swedish.
I am trying to set a webserver to use French regional settings for testing ASP pages. According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q306044, for IIS5, this is a matter of changing the regional settings for the authenticated user, and if this user does not have a user profile then the default regional settings. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be working in IIS6, in that I have change the default user's settings and I am still getting English dates. Can anyone tell me if this is because the way IIS chooses its settings has changed for IIS6 or just because I have done something wrong?
I´ve ran into trouble after a server upgrade. Win server 2003, IIS ver. 6. All regional settings on the server is swedish(that´s what i want) and it looks correct in all ways but when running the date function in a asp page it returns english short date format 24/5/2004 when I think it should be 2004-05-24.
The problem is that the application assumes swedish short date format.
I´ve read somewhere that the IIS server account has it´s own settings, how do I change this ?
I was testing the date formats with different values set to Session.LCID and then I removed the Session.LCID completely from my asp page and expected the date format to show according to the Regional settings of the server but it was showing the last format of the Session.LCID.
My question is how to remove the value which I previously set to Session.LCID because I want to use back the date format from the Regional settings.
This is regarding a change in the Short Date format under Hebrew Regional Settings, that has caused huge problems in our ASP web application. The change appears to have been introduced sometime before Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and has remained through to Windows XP. I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve rewriting our application (much) and that allows all our users to keep using Hebrew Regional Settings.
To summarize our problem - we have an ASP-based intranet web application that is used in our Israel office. Before we installed Windows 2000 SP4 on our web server and on the client machines in the office, the application ran perfectly. Dates appeared on the pages and in input textboxes in the correct dd/mm/yyyy format. Immediately after installing SP4, dates on the pages and in input textboxes are formatted as yyyy/mm/dd. This is not just a visual change, it has caused many functions in the application to break. Code:
I enter them in french format : month/day/year, i save, when the page is reloaded, they appear in french format, "day/month/year"... if i save again, they will ve swapped again.. and so on....
what i'd like to know, is how to know the database supported format, the server date format and how to correct this little problem in my task management system i am developing.
SELECT COUNT(appold.reason) AS Insufficient_Information FROM appold WHERE appold.reason LIKE 'Insufficient Information' AND (appold.`date out` BETWEEN MMColParam1 AND MMColParam2)
I have a form with 2 fields: Beginning Month and Ending Month. I want to be able to allow the user to select a beginning month and ending month and when they hit submit, it will retreive all records in the table where the month field is equal to or inbetween the months the user selected.
When I try to select records which have a date greater than todays date it brings back the incorrect records. I think I'v tried everything to get it working and may have missed something. Basically here's what happens.
Todays date is 04/05/2005, but the sql will return records which have a date of 05/04/2005 or greater. Heres the sql:
Select * From trainingCalendar2 where startDate > #04/05/2005# Order By startDate;
And Returns:
2 Course Test 4 07/04/2005 Mandatory Training
10 SAP Training 29/04/2005 External Course
12 Create Course 2 17/05/2005 Internal/Upskilling
I have checked the regional settings and they are correct. When I open the database and look at the records they are of the correct format.
Even when I look at the records in the site that are the correct format. I think it's access but I thought that access was supposed to have the same regional settings as the computer.
Ive got a variable in my code which is used to calculate the age of an entry in the database. The runtime value for the variable is set to Now-14 which checks to see if the article is more than two weeks old.

I need help with selecting records between certain dates from an Access 2000 db. The dates are held date type in the short date format so they look like so 16/03/2004. I've done the following SQL statement as a test to try and pull out everything from today until a specified date. It does nothing at the moment, the page just renders with no results and no errors.
Code: strSQL = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE StartDate <= 16/04/2004"
After moving a small web app to Win2k3 / IIS 6 the date is being displayed as DDMMYYYY, rather than MMDDYYYY. Can I change something in the regional settings to correct this? Or do I have to change the source?
Basically I have a date that a person completed an exam. A retake date is set off of this completion date (I grab the date and add a certain number of months - i.e. 24, so a completion date of 01/01/2007 would have a retake date of 01/01/2009.)
I'm generating a report for supervisors to be able to look over the employees test history to make sure that the employee is up-to-date on testing.
I want to be able to compare Retake to the current date. If the retake date is in the future (or on the same day - if someone were to look on 01/01/2009) then the employee has a "satisfied" next to them. But if the retake date is in the past, then there is an "incomplete" next to their name.
I am trying to put together a little code that will take the current date and add X number of weekdays to that date.
For instance, if it was a tuesday the 10th, the script would return Friday the 13th. If it was Friday the 13th then the result would be Wednesday the 18th. Basically I need to know where to start with offestting dates based on weekdays
Which format does the IsDate function in asp checks for? I'm taking a date from a form and inserting it into a sql server database which stores the date in mm/dd/yyyy format. Does asp use the same format or do I need to convert it? If so, how do I convert it?
I want to find the next event in my sql database. To do this, I have a query in a while loop. I set a new DateTime variable to the current date and run the query, it checks to see if it found a suitable event, if not, I want to increase the day by one and loop again.

Where Fdate is From Date TDate is To Date NoDays is number of days.
We use this to record holidays for our employees.
I would like to write a SQL query which will display all the records where Fdate or Tdate are within the current month. Not very good at writing SQL hence need some help.
If that was the data in the my table and running this query I would expect it include all the three records when searching for month of "May" as all three records have atleast one day which falls in the month of May.
We have a few English websites running on a single server and are in the process of adding a Spanish website to the same server. I am trying to determine how one would set the language for a particular website. For example, instead of ASP generating a date like "Monday, July 19, 2004" .
I'm using ASP to access an MS Access database. One issue that I'm constantly having problems with is Date/Time records.
What I'd like to know is how does one work with date variables in ASP?
My current problem is this...
I have two variables, Mnth and Yr, which each hold an integer. Mnth holds between 1 and 12 ( a month ), and Yr holds the desired year (2005 for example).
With only these two variables how can I generate a full date to use in an SQL query, such as:
SELECT * From Table WHERE DateAdded>??<date value here>??
I have a search form that I want to search between two dates in my database. For instance I want to search for all leads in the database between 01/01/2004 and 05/06/2004. How do I write this code in asp to search the database based on form results from between the two dates inputed on the form
