Find last month

Hey All,

I'm trying to find an easy way to find what last month was.

I am using the following code to find the current month...


Label1.Caption = Format$(Now, "mmm")


Is there not an easy way to subtract one month from this
statement, so the label would read "Sep" instead of "Oct"?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Dateadd("m", -1, now)

Hey Jordan,

Thanks, but that gives me this result...

9/25/02

I just need it to read - "Sep"

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Ron

I assumed you could manage that bit!

If you can get "Now" to read "Oct" using
Label1.Caption = Format$(Now, "mmm")

I thought that you would be able to format a date that shows September to be just the month?

label1.Caption = format$(Dateadd("m", -1, now),"mmm")

Pass the Date variable that DateAdd() returns into your Format() call (instead of Now)

VB Code:

MsgBox Month(Now) - 1

Hey guys thanks alot :-)

Sorry for being an idiot today...sometimes I don't know if I'm
coming or going.

Thanks,
Ron
