Hi Stefan, perfect, many thanks. Regards Mick

A source I frequent for date functions is the W3Schools page for VBScript-
http://www.w3schools.com/VBscript/func_formatdatetime.asp

FormatDateTime(Date, 2) is what you are currently using
FormatDateTime(Date, 1) is what you are seeking

Note that these are based on regional/language settings of the server. If
your server was setup to the US versions of date/time, the output will be
different:
"Tue 14 October 2008" will become "Tue October 14 2008"
and
"14/10/2008" will become "10/14/2008"
