returning longdate format
How do I obtain a longdate format in ASP?

The data that I'm returning from the database is stored as a longdate, but the recordset is returning the shortdate format.

For example, "Friday, September 05, 2003" is returned as "9/5/2003". I need to be able to extract the name of the day from that string.

I've thought about writing a DLL in order to take advantage of the intrinsic VB function "format", but the server where the application resides isn't mine, and they won't allow me to register a DLL on their box.

FormatDateTime(your_date, 1)


Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Thanks. I'd looked at the formatdatetime function, but none of the books I have show that there can be a second argument.
