Displaying and formatting Dates and Times

Just to clear up an issue, the date and time displayed on this page are provided by my server so may not be the same where you are. Some of the dates are displayed in UK format ie dd/mm/yyyy rather than the American mm/dd/yyyy, though they'll display correctly according to where your server is located.

<% strNow=Now()' this variable will be used later below %>

strNow holds the value 04/02/2012 04:42:32

<%= Date() %> prints out 04/02/2012

<%= Now() %> prints out 04/02/2012 04:42:32

<%= Time() %> prints out 04:42:32

<%= FormatDateTime(strNow, vbGeneralDate) %> prints out 04/02/2012

<%= FormatDateTime(strNow, vbLongDate) %> prints out 04 February 2012

<%= FormatDateTime(strNow,vbShortDate) %> prints out 04/02/2012

<%= FormatDateTime(strNow, vbLongTime) %> prints out 04:42:32

<%= FormatDateTime(strNow, vbShortTime) %> prints out 04:42

<%= Year(strNow) %> prints out 2012
