An FYI
This definitely only works properly in 2007
205r4 and 2006r4 do not respect the international settings properly.
Getting the short date back returns me the date with the parts in the
right order but not the correct custom separator (I have my date
format set to mm;yy;dd)
But since parse date "works" in those versions this is not an issue
You could even preface the code with
#if RBVersion < 2007
return parseDate(text, value)
#else
// ...... your code here
#endif
and have a universal replacement
