Below find few examples ....


Date fromdate
fromdate = today()
Messagebox('vulcanjena',string(fromdate))

RESULT --> MM/DD/YYYY

Datetime fromdate
fromdate = datetime(today())
Messagebox('vulcanjena',string(fromdate))

RESULT --> MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss

Datetime fromdate , todate

fromdate = datetime(date(today()),time(0,0,0))
todate = datetime(date(today()),time(23,59,59))
Messagebox ('vulcanjena',string(fromdate))
Messagebox ('vulcanjena',string(todate))

use GetLocaleInfoA() windows API fn to get user's regional date settings

and use SetLocaleInfoA() to set user's regional date settings

both these apis are in kernel32.dll
