Quote

"Display date/time according to regional settings 

WriteVal( DateTime(), formatDateTime ); 

"



Also If you don't want to display thousand separator simply

specify Separator = False as below


WriteVal( DateNum(), 1.0, False );



Third thing: all floating point arithmetic is IEEE single precision 32 bit

floating point that has 7 (seven) significant digits.
