    format$(date,"dd") or Day(Date) will return the short form
    format$(date,"dddd") will return the long

    Assume the current date is Thursday, 29 June 2000.
    Code:
    strDay = Format(Now, "ddd")  'This will give you "Thu"
strDay = Format(Now, "dddd") 'This will give you "Thursday"
    Hope this helps.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
