[AccessD] Date Conversion Problem

Can you not, when setting up the key, create and check the date by
assembling the date string one element at a time; example day, Month, Year?
In this way regardless of the imbedded date string order at least you could
standardize.

Dear List:
 
I have a license expiration date encrypted in a key. I decode the expiration
date when the user starts the app and store it in a string which I then set
to a date type variable for display.
 
Works fine here.  The expiration date is 7/1/2008.  So I assemble the date
in a string = "07/01/08".  Then I set that equal to a variable of Date type
-gdatExpirationDate =  gstrExpirationDate - and gdatExpirationDate has
7-1-2008 in it.
 
When I set regional and Language to Chinese (PRC) of Chinese (Taiwan)
however, gdatExpirationDate has 2007-1-8.  
 
I can't figure out how to make the date display correctly from the string I
assemble from the key regardless of the Regional and Language Settings.  
 
Is there a way to do this so I don't have to know what the setting is?
 
MTIA
 
Rocky
