Not that it really matters but this is what Microsoft says about the script control. "The Script control ships with Visual Basic 6.0; however, Visual Basic 6.0 setup does not install the Script Control for you." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184739

I have it listed as Microsoft Script Control 1.0 under components. The path to the ocx on my machine is C:\WINDOWS\system32\msscript.ocx.

Thanks Mark but I don't have msscript.ocx in my system. I can't be a normal VB install else I would have it.

Hi Keith,

MSScript should come with VB it allows for your apps to run VBScript as a result the Date$ doesnt work and Date displays the date in mm/dd/yyyy format.

Well Lee in all the years I've used VB I've never noticed MSScript. Is this a Reference or an ocx?

With vbscript you and easily separate the date parts and then reassmeble the however you want.

Option Explicit

Dim strDay, strMonth, strYear, strOutput

strDay = Day(Date)
strMonth = Month(Date)
strYear = Year(Date)

strOutput = strday & "/" & strMonth & "/" & strYear

MsgBox strOutput

Hi Keith,

Thaks but that still doesnt work. MSScript should come with VB it allows for your apps to run VBScript as a result the Date$ doesnt work and Date displays the date in mm/dd/yyyy format.

Thanks

Welcome to A1vbcode Lee.

Hi,

I have added the MSScript control to an APP in VB6 and i am having issues with the date format. My regional settings are set to UK but when i use now() function it is displayed as 11/28/2008. Has anyone got any ideas.

Well I never use Now because Now shows Date and Time. If I only want the date I use Date function. Now depending how your regional settings are set Date will give the current English date and Date$ will show the American date.

If its displaying 11/28/2008 then its showing the American date use the Date function.

I've never heard of MSScript where did you get it and what extra functions does it have?
