I am using FormatDateTime( mydbDate, vbShortDate) but it is NOT returning
the date formatted according to my regional settings. My regional settings
are "dd/MM/yyyy" but my date is returned as "d/m/yyyy".

Where is it getting the format from so that I can correct it or is there a
better way to format the date, the way I want it?

I have tried the VB format function but get
Type mismatch: 'Format'
