[AccessD] Date Format Again

If they use the US date format, then what do you mean by their having
their machines set to yyy-mm-dd?   Cdate(Date) will return a  date in
the system format.

Dear List:

I thought I had the date format problem solved but in Taiwan they use
the US format but they've got their machines set to yyy-mm-dd.  

The problem is that I have a license expiration date encrypted in a key
and so the routine that decodes the key yields (among other things) the
expiration date which I compare to the system date.

So I guess I'm going to have to use an API to get the regional setting
for short date format?  I've been mucking around in the Knowledgebase
but can't seem to find what I want.

Does anyone know the format for retrieving this item?  

I guess I will have to use a Select Case on the short date format to do
the decryption to yield a short date in the local format.  And just add
cases as I find more short date formats.

MTIA,
