You thought it was confusing before??? Date and Time Formats http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html http://www.exit109.com/~ghealton/y2k/yrexamples.html In Microsoft.net http://www.apress.com/ApressCorporate/supplement/1/62/1590590023-267.pdf Lets just go with the ISO standard, and force our governemnts to comply but 'common usage'. Interestingly, I could find no web document that lists date format by count= ry. I thought that Microsoft would have one for it's Winblows installs, but if = they do, it is well hidden.
