Shippee:

Try

startDate = {1901, 1, 2};
endDate = {1991, 12, 13};
totDays = DateDifference[startDate, endDate];
Table[DateString[
  DatePlus[
   startDate, {i, "Day"}],
   {"Month", "/", "Day", "/", "Year"}], {i, 0, totDays}]


{"01/02/1901", "01/03/1901", "01/04/1901", "01/05/1901", \
"01/06/1901", "01/07/1901", "01/08/1901", "01/09/1901", "01/10/1901", \
"01/11/1901", "01/12/1901", "01/13/1901", <<33194>>, "12/02/1991", \
"12/03/1991", "12/04/1991", "12/05/1991", "12/06/1991", "12/07/1991", \
"12/08/1991", "12/09/1991", "12/10/1991", "12/11/1991", "12/12/1991", \
"12/13/1991"}

Slow but not issues with forward slashes.

Subject: [mg124750] creation of date list

I need to create a list of dates which runs from:

01/02/1901
01/03/1901
01/04/1901
...
12/11/1991
12/12/1991
12/13/1991

but end up with a list of all those dates without the forward slash
"/" - any thoughts on the best way to approach this with Mathematica?
Please & Thanks in advance.
