db date formatting

[mettá]

Some time ago I managed to get dates to display like this;

Wednesday 29 April 2009

The code to do this is;

<% =WeekdayName(Weekday
(CDate(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"from1"))))%>&nbsp;<%=FormatDateTime(CDate(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"from1")),
vbLongDate)%>

However I would like to do this;

Wed 29 Apr 2009

Can anyone help

This is not an out-of-box format, and would need to be a custom written
function

Just add the optional abbreviate parameter as true to your WeekdayName code
See http://www.devguru.com/technologies/vbscript/quickref/weekdayname.html

<% =WeekdayName(Weekday(CDate (FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"from1"))),true)%>
&nbsp;
<%=FormatDateTime(CDate(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"from1")), vbLongDate)%>
