Date Script

[nonprogrammer]

Hello,

I have this script

<% 
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,1)

 
%>

That is supposed to give me Day, Month, date, and Year.

I get that but it is the wrong date, for Friday, January 27, 2006 I get this Saturday, December 30, 1899

I checked my server settings, my computer settings and the dates are correct am I missing something?

what did you actually have for todaysDate??

did you use now()

-DNG

 

[BarkingFrog]

Response.Write(FormatDateTime(Now(), 1))

A date variable contains a number.

The number represents the amount of time SINCE Saturday, December 30, 1899 is the default date.

IF your date variable is empty such that the number is zero, then you will see this ancient date.
