Date() driving me INSANE!!!

Hi there

I have this report and I don't know since when did it start to be a problem.

The report of the header I print the date when the report is generated, so it looks like:

response.write "<DIV align='right'><font face=arial size=1><i>Generated on " & Date() & ".</i></font></DIV><BR>", 0

As simple as that.

Now, I'm running the server on my own machine, and I looked at Control Panel's Regional setting, my short date format is
yyyy-MM-dd, and my long date format is
MMMM d, yyyy

I have added a few languages for input such as 2 chinese languages and a English US. (I use English Canada, but on the Regional Options tab I have it set to English Canada, so I'm assuming the settings there are my default settings).

So why the h___ is the report showing today's date (6 April 2006) as

4/6/2006????? I was totally expecting 2006-04-06 according to my short date format.

Any other place that I need to look at?

Thanks
CC

In case I wasn't clear - I was using VBscript as my language in this ASP page.

Thanks

Hi...

I found a better example. Here is a piece of code

Code:

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<html>
<body>
<%
response.write "Server date is: " & Date() & "<BR>"
%>
and<BR>
<script type="text/vbscript">

document.write("Client date is: ")
document.write(Date)

</script>

</body>
</html>

And so why the following is the output (i'm running the IIS on my own machine)

Server date is: 4/6/2006
and
Client date is: 2006-04-06

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
CC
