Hi hexOffender,<br />

I don't know why this wont work:<br />
<br />
dim dateIn as string<br />
<br />
dateIn= format(myclass.dateIn,&quot;MM/<wbr />DD/yyyy&quot;)<br />
<br />
Without the format function I get '6/8/2006' , But I need 2 digit Month and Day. <br />
With the Format Function I get &quot;MM/DD/yyyy&quot;<br />
<br />
I have also tried :<br />
<br />
dateIn=myClass.dateIn.tost<wbr />ring.forma<wbr />t(&quot;MM/DD/y<wbr />yyy&quot;)<br />
<br />
and <br />
<br />
dateIn = myClass.dateIn<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Format(dateIn, &quot;MM/DD/yyyy&quot;)
