Using the isDate function

[John]

Hi all,

How do I use the isDate function?

The reason I ask this is because the function returns a false for a date
"13/09/2004" which is correct in "dd/MM/yyyy" format. Is there another
function I can use to validate a simple string in "dd/MM/yyyy" format?

Any help appreciated.

Regards
John.

Probably, your server is using the wrong locale ID.

Try setting Session.LCID=1078 or whatever your LCID is
(see http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r.../lcid-all.mspx)
before calling the IsDate function.

You can also use the Page directive:
<%@Page LCID="1078" Language="VB" %>
