International Date Issues

If you wander away from VB's built-in date handling (and even if you stick fairly close to it) eventually you will have trouble if users can input a date. While MS and the WWW have made most computer literate people used to the the USA format M/D/Y there are many others. MS recognises 3 MDY, DMY and YMD. There are also lots of date dividers '/-\,.'. If you don't provide a calander or listbox system to control date input then you have to program for end-users using their local format. The following article is a at least part of a quick and dirty answer to the problem. (article is also in zip for easier downloading in English and Indonesian)
