Format Date Time In ASP.... :-)

Ello All...

Ok here is todays 25 point question... ;-)

I made a script that will show the current day/month/year in the format I require.  Now I have to take this and be able to add 3 years to the current year.

SO.  If I was to have 00/00/0000 as my start in a form field "number one".  I would require 00/00/0003 in a form field "number two".

Here is what I am using for the current date in the format I require below.  

<%
yr = Year(Now())
mo = Month(Now())
da = Day(Now())
if len(mo)<2 then mo = "0" & mo
if len(da)<2 then da = "0" & da
%>

<%
Response.Write(mo &"/" & da & "/" & yr & "")
%>



So all I need is to be able to add 3 to the current year.

Any Takers?  PLEASE

AGH!!!!!  Just figured it out Doh!

<%
yr = Year(Now())
mo = Month(Now())
da = Day(Now())
if (yr)>0 then yr = yr + "3"
if len(mo)<2 then mo = "0" & mo
if len(da)<2 then da = "0" & da
%>

<%
Response.Write(mo &"/" & da & "/" & yr & "")
%>

or you could convert to yyyymmdd , add 30000, convert it back
There's a much better way

DateAdd(Now(), 3, "yyyy")

gives you a date object exactly 3 years from now.  It's extensible too.  So you can add three days without having to deal with checking for "the 33rd of September" by going

DateAdd(Now(), 3, "d")

yeah, sorry.  I did it from memory, which isn't doing so well these days.  At least I included the link so he could look it up ;-)
just a note, cause its not always obvious, DateAdd is also used to subtract, just use negative numbers:

DateAdd("yyyy",-3,Now())

When working with to date values, you can also use DateDiff.

a_goat provided the correct answer to this question although the format of the code was not correct.
mikkolsoft provided the corrected version.

The point should go to one of these two.
My suggestion is one of the following:
Give points and grade less than A to a_goat
or
Give points and grade of A to mikkolsoft
It is time to clean this abandoned question up.

I am putting it on a clean up list for CS.
