I have a bunch of scripts which I run from TP tools I created. One of these scripts creates an MD5 hash against a file using, amongst other things, a date string. The string is formatted VB Script using long date:

FormatDateTime([thefileobject].DateCreated, 4)

When run from a command prompt, I get the date I want, '25 October 2005'. However, when the script is run from the TP tool, I get short date, '25/10/2005'

This has to be a bug, right? If not, is there a work-around? And please don't suggest using some string other than the date...

There must be something else going wrong, because "4" means "Short Time", if you need the short date, use FormatDateTime([thefileobject].DateCreated, 2).

BTW I can't see a difference running from a DOS prompt or from Textpad, both display "1/16/2006"
