Hi,

You can use the format function.

example

dim MyDate

Mydate = Now()
Mydate = Format(MyDate, "dd/mm/yy")
Msgbox MyDate

R@emdonck

Thanx..but it does not formats the date "5/5/99" to "05/05/99"

Any alternates.

Venkat

why are all your questions Urgent..Answer ASAP?
You must be very stressed!


debug.print Format("5-5-99", "dd/mm/yy")

the date format functions are dependant on the Regional settings so your output may be different to other peoples

Hi,

What Mark wrote is true, because the code works on my PC.

My regional setting for short date = "d/MM/yy"

See ya
