Y2K Difficulty (I know, I'm 3 years too late)

[CestusGW]

When using the File object under VB6, the DateLastModified and DateCreated properties return two digit year values. I've upgraded to SP5 for VB6, but this behaviour still persists. Is there any way I can extract the required 4 digit date from a file? (ie other methods under the FSO or File object, different object models etc) Greg W

My OS is NT 4.0 SP6 (which should be Y2k compliant fs!) Greg W

Greg,

It's your locale settings. Go into the control panel and open your "Regional Options". Select the Date tab and change the short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. Then run the program again. Now you should have a 4 digit year.

Those Microsoft guys are sneaky aren't they... building controls that look at the locale.
