    Working with Dates, VB3

    Hello to all.

    I have been trying to work with dates on Visual Basic Version 3.

    Using a Textbox (Text1.text)

    I understand that "Format" is use to display the date as you like. But what
    type of input it needs?

    What is a date format?
    String "mm/dd/yyyy"?
    or
    Integer = mmddyyyy ?

    There are many functions to manipulate dates like
    DatePart
    DateDiff

    But what type of date is that I need to give to this functions?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

      Not sure about VB3 but in VB6 you declare a date as 'date'
      i.e. Dim MyDate as Date

          Thanks, that help. but it look like my copy of VB# got some missing files.
          every I try to use DateDiff, DateAdd or any of the date manipulation
          commands it gives me a File not Found error message.

          I have been trying to get a better version but it seems in my country is
          hard to get. I try to get direct from Microsoft but my country is not even
          listed (PR). so I am stock using VB3. anyway if someone can help me to write
          a routine to make up for DateDiff and DateAdd it will be greatly
          appreciated.
