Day Name

[ragha_hn]

Hello Everybody,

I am new to VB. I wanted to know how to get the day & month name using system date. Eg: 04/15/2001 it should show as April 04, Wednesday 15, Year 2001.

Please help me.

thankyou for everything.

You can get everything except "Year", with this.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim x As String
    x = "04/15/2001"
    MsgBox Format(x, "mmmm mm,dddd dd, yyyy")
End Sub

Might try using 2 format functions to concatenate "Year" into the string.

dim dt as date
dt="04/15/2001"
msgbox monthname(month(dt))
msgbox weekdayname(weekday(dt))

Like this

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim x As String
    x = "04/15/2001"
    MsgBox Format(x, "mmmm mm,dddd dd") & " ,Year " & Format(x, "yyyy")
End Sub

That is certainly a strange way to display a date, but this will do it.

MsgBox Format(Now, "mmmm") & " " _
     & Format(Now, "mm") & ", " _
     & Format(Now, "dddd") & " " _
     & Format(Now, "dd") & ", Year " _
     & Format(Now, "yyyy")
