Hi Stuart, Your code below would return the wrong result here in OZ ;-) In .net you should probably cast to datetime and use the month property to return either a string or int as required. C# or VB doesn't matter though I prefer C#. I use VB only when I have to. Cheers Michael M Me too. I wrote something like this just yesterday: strMonth = Left$(Date$,2) lngMonth = Val(strMonth) ...... 'lots of addition code using one or other of the above variables depending on context. .... It makes the code very easy to follow. And I could have written it as: strMonth = Left$(Date$,2) lngMonth = Val(strmonth) without any problem :-) -- Stuart On 14 Nov 2011 at 14:28, David McAfee wrote: > I still use it (or a variation of it), even in other languages. > > > On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 2:23 PM, David Emerson <newsgrps at dalyn.co.nz> wrote: > > > Here is a related question to variable names.
