WHat we have always done is to use seperate form fields (select boxes) for
day/month/year, and then used createdate(form.year,form.monnth,form.day) in
calculations...

:> Subject: Dateadd function problems with UK locale!
:>
:>
:> Hello All,
:>
:> I wonder if someone out there can help me? I am having a
:> horrible time with
:> the dateadd function using UK dates, I am acquiring a date value and
:> increment values from a form and then incrementing other
:> form values with
:> this date and increment values. My problem seems to occur
:> when the dates
:> are displayed out to the form in American format with the
:> wrong datepart
:> incremented, from what I can see the date is being treated
:> as a US date and
:> not my locale UK. Has anyone had any similar problems or
:> know of a solution
:> to this problem.
:>
:> I have included below a snippet from my code as an example
:> of the problem,
:> through my testing and debugging I have also noticed that
:> datepart function
:> also seems ignore the fact that my locale is UK. If I could
:> get datepart to
:> work then I could pass that value into dateadd but as in the
:> example below
:> datepart also uses the US date format.
