Hello,
Iam sorry but iam not able to catch you.Can you be more clear please......

Im copying the FileDateTime of a file to a label, but i only need the date, how do i delete the time(the last 11 characters, i think).

I hope thats clearer.

I´m not sure if this is what you need.

dim str as string

str=Now
str=left$(str,len(str)-11)

If you just want the date and eliminate the time then you have to do this

Label1.Caption = Left(Now, 8)

This will show only the date in the label.

Hope iam clear

Works a treat!!

Thanks
