date format display gone wrong

hi there i have a form value which accepts the date format in the dd/mm/yyyy

and i have this function to display the date in that format
Dim ddate, ydate, mdate
Function CheckDate(sdate)
ddate=day(sdate)
mdate=month(sdate)
ydate=year(sdate)
sdate= ddate & "/" & mdate & "/" & ydate

checkdate = sdate
End Function

it works fine except if the month is more then 10 or less then 5
for example if i put 10 april 2003(10/04/2003) i get 04/10/2003 and if i were to put 4 october 2003(4/10/2003) i'll get 10/4/2003 pls help thanks in advance

what exactly are you passing to this function?

You could use the datepart function and format the date like ever you want

'Simply change the DATE by your own date value...

dtDate = DATEPART("YYYY", DATE) & "/" & DATEPART("M",DATE) & "/" & DATEPART("D", DATE)

I had this problem too, the date was showing an american format, I tried all the formatting of the date but nothing worked.

I then found out by chance that it could be something to do with the reginal settings on the server. As i was using brinkster to test my site (american setting's) my site was showing the american format MM/DD/YY. So I tried it on the server that I was going to host it on and they had british settings so the date was coming out how they should DD/MM/YY.

Hope this is some help
