It is just a display format. Set your display format to DMY (it does not need to be British nor should be, it is just one of the countries in Europe using that same DMY format). Depending on where you want to use it, there are already supplied format specifiers. i.e.. With a textbox you could set DateFormat property to 11 (DMY). To convert to say character, you can SET DATE TO DMY and SET CENTURY ON, then simply use DTOC().
