That's only one of a large number of possible alternatives.
Why do you want to know. Depending on that, there are a number of
tricks you can use.
One simple way would be to compare Datevalue("1/6/04") to
Datevalue("6 Jan 04") and Datevalue("1 Jun 04") and see which
matches.
A more complicated, but also more versatile way is to use a call to
the GetDateFormat() API and see exactly what regional format is in
use.
