Date format passing parameter to WebService

Hi Lads,
I'm having this wee problem with the date format of a parameter - I'm
building a list of the needed parameters on a web page (determined from the
report) via the API, I have set the report to English(Ireland), I assumed
this would take care of the date format (dd/MM/yyyy) rightly or wrongly I'm
not too sure - reigonal settings on my PC are the same. The problem that I
have is that when I pass back the date 30/09/2005 it comes back with an error
- any suggestions? they would be most appreciated.You can use strings instead DateTime, and you will avoid any TimeZone
convertion and reginal settings.

Unfortunately I can't use strings! I actually build up parameters on the web
page depending on their type in the report itself! i.e. for datetime
parameters, I create a text box an image control next to it to popup a date
selection screen, for a string I create a textbox only etc. I'm trying to
make it as generic as possible so I only have to do this once!
