If you look at the DateTime Primer at the following location: http://www.ScorpionResearch.com/futurebasic/ you will see how to do it in FBII. The part you need is the International Resources section. It shows you how to decode which format the date should be (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY or etc) amongst other things.
