Question

Currently I have a data source that stores dates in the format yyyymmdd, and I need to return them in the format mm/dd/yyyy (there will not be a time portion to either date). I have no problem retrieving the dates from the date source, but the following is not reformatting the date (but it doesn’t error either)

Set LookupDate = FormatDateTime(objRS.Fields("Date"),2)

Any help would be great!

Answer 1

Thanks everyone for the input! I used a combo of elements to get a working final answer, here it is:

PUDate = objRS.Fields("Date")
YearPart = Left(PUDate, 4)
MonthPart = Mid(PUDate, 5, 2)
DayPart = Right(PUDate, 2)
LookupDate = MonthPart & "/" & DayPart & "/" & YearPart
