VBScript How can I Format Date?

Suggest calling 'Now' only once in the function to guard against the minute, or even the day, changing during the execution of the function.

Thus:

Function timeStamp()
    Dim t 
    t = Now
    timeStamp = Year(t) & "-" & _
    Right("0" & Month(t),2)  & "-" & _
    Right("0" & Day(t),2)  & "_" & _  
    Right("0" & Hour(t),2) & _
    Right("0" & Minute(t),2) '    '& _    Right("0" & Second(t),2) 
End Function

0 = vbGeneralDate - Default. Returns date: mm/dd/yy and time if specified: hh:mm:ss PM/AM.
1 = vbLongDate - Returns date: weekday, monthname, year
2 = vbShortDate - Returns date: mm/dd/yy
3 = vbLongTime - Returns time: hh:mm:ss PM/AM
4 = vbShortTime - Return time: hh:mm


d=CDate("2010-02-16 13:45")
document.write(FormatDateTime(d) & "<br />")
document.write(FormatDateTime(d,1) & "<br />")
document.write(FormatDateTime(d,2) & "<br />")
document.write(FormatDateTime(d,3) & "<br />")
document.write(FormatDateTime(d,4) & "<br />")

If you want to use another format you will have to create your own function and parse Month, Year, Day, etc and put them together in your preferred format.

Function myDateFormat(myDate)
    d = TwoDigits(Day(myDate))
    m = TwoDigits(Month(myDate))    
    y = Year(myDate)
    myDateFormat= m & "-" & d & "-" & y
End Function

Function TwoDigits(num)
    If(Len(num)=1) Then
        TwoDigits="0"&num
    Else
        TwoDigits=num
    End If
End Function

edit: added function to format day and month as 0n if value is less than 10.
