Nic;o)

note, this question is not being deleted

but the other question is

a recap of last post of other question (which is about to be closed)


what is the hijran date for today?

To only way is to convert it, the only way I can think of is with a function

in Forms, before you populate the field (or have another readonly field) which converts it
with regards to report, you probably need to do something similar

what did you use the validate the date conversion?

today is 09/02/1425.

I canot understand your final question. Please

how are you displaying the hijri date?

in a form, you have a date, before you set that value in the textbox, you can convert it
or have a read only textbox (or caption) field which holds the equivalent hijri date - this way you see both gregorian and hijri



this code here


    Dim sDate
    Call VariantChangeTypeEx(sDate, Now(), 1025, &H8, vbString)
    MsgBox "From " & Now() & " I got " & sDate


I got from 30/03/2004 to 09/02/1425

if you put this code in a function

e.g.

public function ConvertToHijri(byval sDate as date) as string

    Dim sDate
    Call VariantChangeTypeEx(sDate, sDate, 1025, &H8, vbString)
    ConvertToHijri = sDate

end function

then in the form, call

txtDate.value = ConvertToHijri(field.GregorianDate)

Please give me some time
I am in middle of preparing important Management Report.


I will check, and come back to you.

i am getting a compile error "Duplication declaration in current scope",

By the way sdate is the date gregorian date you are refering?

Public Function ConvertToHijri(ByVal sDate As Date) As String

    ConvertToHijri = sDate
End Function

Unfortunately I do not know all the parameters for the different flags

I think the gregorian is &H40

so if you pass in a hijri date, and put &H40 instead of &H8, see what you get

(maybe create another function, same type of thing except called ConvertToGregorian)
