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.
