When I convert '12/3/2003' using COleDateTime::ParseDateTime, takes 12 as date. Why?

My regional setting is australia.
I have a string '12/3/2003' (mm/dd/yy) in US format to be parsed as COleDateTime.
When I convert using COleDateTime::ParseDateTime, it considers 12 as date and 3 as month.
I know this is because of my regional setting.
How to make ParseDateTime to consider the string as US date string?

Code:

---

CString sTimeString = "12/3/2003";        // 12 th month
       
COleDateTime oleTime;
oleTime.ParseDateTime(sTimeString,LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE);  // I tried this
//oleTime.ParseDateTime(sTimeString,0 );        // I tried this also.

AfxMessageBox(oleTime.Format("%m/%d/%y"));        // the month 12 th becomes date

---

Displays 3/12/2003
How to instruct ParseDateTime to consider the string in US format ?

Thanks a lot for your helps

Even a solution based on CTime will help.

Thanks

oleTime.ParseDateTime(_T("12/2/2003"),0,MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US));

Thanks a lot.
