Agnes,
I normally use DateTime with a custom date format, something like:

Dim theDate as DateTime = #02/02/2005#

Dim ymd As String = theDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

Note MM is month in the custom format, while mm is minutes.

For details on custom datetime formats see:

For information on formatting in .NET in general see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ttingtypes.asp

Hope this helps
Jay

Agnes,

You can be often so documentive :-) the date you show is in every format in
the world 2 february 2005

And than is this about a date presented in a string or in a datetime (which
is for every format the same because it are nanosecondticks)
