Default Neutral date format in VBA

Hi,

I have an Excel macro that checks a document property which is a date. I am
checking a given date, which, if set, triggers a given processing. How can I
design my if statement so that the check is always working regardless of the
locale of the user running Excel, i.e. if I want to check if the date is
equal to the 15th of August 2005, how should my if statement look like ?

Thanks for help
