Hello all,

I'm using timestamps and wanted to display them in a certain way.  Though 
when I took a look at "FormatDateTime" I found I could only have it return 
one of five pre-defined formats, none of which served my purpose.   So I 
wrote my own, using a formatting string.

The thing is, the name of the system function is quite appropriate for what 
my function is doing: FormatDateTime.

tl;dr:
Can I have the VBScript engine pick the right function depending on the 
types of the provided arguments ?

I don't think its possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask. :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
