expiration

[funkheads]

i have a very simple question about dates: i want my program to expire after a certain date. i tried using this code:

If Date >= "4/25/00" Then
'some code

this doesn't work. could anyone give me any pointers on how to make a program expire? thanks a lot.

use now instead

eg


if year(now) > = 2000 and month(now) >=4 then

msgbox("Expired")

endif


you can use day as well if you want.

otherwise
dim expiry as date
expiry = "#04/04/2000#
if expiry > date then

endif

Hello Michael,

I do think when you place the code:

MsgBox Date

the answer is: "4/4/2000"


use:

If Date >= "4/25/2000" Then'some code

Nice regards,

Michelle.

thanks a lot guys. i knew i was doing something wrong and i knew it was probably the simplest thing. well i was right. or wrong...as it is. i forget i needed the "#" on each side of the date and not the quotes to make it work. it works beautifully now. thanks again for your help.
