[AccessD] FW: Date Conversion Problem

Ya, sorry about that, with the goofed mid statement, it was feeding val("-0") into the Day parameter, instead of val("01").  It's a handy way to get the end of the month though:

DateSerial(Year(dtSomeDate),Month(dtSomeDate)+1,0)

Just set regional setting back to English (US) and got the same thing -
string of 07-01-08 converts to 6/30/2008.

Damn! Close enough! gstrExpirationDate = 07-01-08 --> gdatExpirationDate =
2008-6-30.  Off by a day - very curious but not fatal.


Thanks.

Use DateSerial

(and I'd recommend using a 4 digit year text format, but here's how to do
this with just the two digits)

gdatExpirationDate=DateSerial(val(right(gstrExpirationDate,2))+2000,val(
Left(gstrExpirationDate,2)),val(mid(gStrExpirationDate,3,2)))

That will guarantee you get the right date (until the year 2100 (which is
why I recommend 4 digit years)).

Dear List:
 
I have a license expiration date encrypted in a key. I decode the expiration
date when the user starts the app and store it in a string which I then set
to a date type variable for display.
 
Works fine here.  The expiration date is 7/1/2008.  So I assemble the date
in a string = "07/01/08".  Then I set that equal to a variable of Date type
-gdatExpirationDate =  gstrExpirationDate - and gdatExpirationDate has
7-1-2008 in it.
 
When I set regional and Language to Chinese (PRC) of Chinese (Taiwan)
however, gdatExpirationDate has 2007-1-8.  
 
I can't figure out how to make the date display correctly from the string I
assemble from the key regardless of the Regional and Language Settings.  
 
Is there a way to do this so I don't have to know what the setting is?
 
MTIA
 
Rocky
