    I would like to display the date format in the user's locale setting

    I'm looking for a VBA script to display a date in the locale setting of the user.
    I don't mean to format a date, but to display the text "mm/dd/yyyy" for American locale settings, but "dd-mm-jjjj" for dutch locale settings.

    Especially the change in character for the year is the challenging path.

    Can anyone help?
