WH UK - date format appearing as 8/31/2008

Hi

What do I need to ask WH UK to do to fix my date format to UK.

I am using ASP and Access, and a simple response.write date() is displaying as 8/31/2008 on pages.

What must I ask the web host to do to my account/server/whatever to display dates in UK format.

Thanks

It seems the shared server is set that way.

I chose a British host in the hope that its date settings would be set to this locale.

Why does this country never help itself.

I am now stuck, as much of my code is date orientated.

I don't know anything re asp coding, but isn't it like all the other languages! You set the date format using code.....no?

EDIT: Actually i just found this

Halfway down the page <%session.lcid=2057%>

Of course its code, but I won't get it all converted by Thursday - which was why I went for UK server. The whole site is an appointments system - jam packed with date calculations etc.

Never mind - I will chack the server date format first next time - it saves a lot of time if it starts off in UK format.

I would recommend using LiveSupport.
