Hi Darren,

DateSerial, Day, Month, and Year Function Examples

The following example uses the DateSerial function together with the Year, Month, and Day functions to return the number of days in a month. You can pass either a date or a string to the DaysInMonth function.

Function DaysInMonth(dteInput As Date) As Integer
    Dim intDays As Integer

    ' Add one month, subtract dates to find difference.
    intDays = DateSerial(Year(dteInput), _
        Month(dteInput) + 1, Day(dteInput)) _
        DateSerial(Year(dteInput), _
        Month(dteInput), Day(dteInput))
    DaysInMonth = intDays
    Debug.Print intDays
End Function
The following Sub procedure shows several different ways that you might call the DaysInMonth function.

Sub CallDaysInMonth()
    Dim intDays As Integer
    intDays = DaysInMonth(#4/1/96#)
    intDays = DaysInMonth("4-1-96")
    intDays = DaysInMonth("April 1, 1996")
End Sub

Are you creating this SQL in code?  If so, use DateSerial to 'put' the
date into the SQL and you'll never have a problem.

Hi Team

I have a new machine - SO maybe this date question is a regional setting
issue



Anyhow - I am trying to show all accounts created in a db since a
certain
date

When I debug the recordsource SQL that is supposed to 'feed' the form I
see



select * from tblAccount where DateCreated >= #4/07/2008#



Excellent - Over here in Oz we want dd/mm/yyy date formatting

So to me this SQL will show me all the accounts created since the 4th
July
2008

But it does not

It ends up showing me all the accounts created since 7th April



Arrrgggghhhh



I have made all the neseccary changes to regional settings



Help please



Darren
