RE: Date formatting using XSLT extensions functions

DaveP,

Thanks for the advice. It is looking more and more likely that I'll have
to become stricter with the initial date format being input. However, as
I mentioned, the date formats I described are all parsed and handled OK
through the VBScript Date functions, when used in ASP page or VB, so I
was hoping to access those functions through the use of an XSLT
extension function, as described below and in the original thread, since
I can, at least, guarantee the platform that it will be running on.
However, I have failed in my attempt to use the VBScript Date functions
as extensions. Any ideas?

Thanks again for the valuable input.

Month(InputDate)
