DateValue
Description Returns a Variant of subtype Date
Usage dateVal = DateValue(date)
Arguments date
Date is an expression representing a date, time or both, in the range January 1, 100 to
December 31, 9999.
Return A date value
Remarks Time information in date is not returned. However, if date includes invalid time information (such
as "89:98"), a runtime error occurs. DateValue is internationally aware and uses the system
locale setting on the local machine to recognize the order of a date with only numbers and a
separator. If date is a string that includes only numbers separated by valid date separators,
DateValue also recognizes unambiguous dates that contain month names, either in long or
abbreviated form. For example, in addition to recognizing 12/30/1991 and 12/30/91, DateValue
also recognizes December 30, 1991 and Dec 30, 1991. If the year part of date is omitted,
DateValue uses the current year from your computer's system date.

use date a date to a Variant variable, for example, MyDate = #9/11/63#.
Dim MyDate
MyDate = DateValue("September 11, 1963") ' Return a date 9/11/1963
