Date Problems

[culshaja]

Hi,
I have an application that is used in different countries.
When people enter dates in France the dates are not accepted if they enter a 3 letter month code i.e. mai = may.
When I change the local settings on my machine to French and issue dteDate = CDate("20 Mai 2000&quot through the Visual Basic immediate window the date is accepted. However, when I use IE5 and input the date into the field the client-side VBScript validation using CDate does not recognise the date as being valid.
Any ideas?

globalization is a tough thing to program for. if you can't predict which countries your customers are living in, your code needs to be robust enough to deal with whatever they input, or you can force a particular format by making them choose the day, month and year from select boxes (the most frequently used method) [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br>[/sig]
