Hello, <br />
<br />
I'm trying to avoid using Left/Right properties to extract numbers that will built a date like 11/1/2010-basically I want to display the current month, current year with day 1. Here's what I have thus far...<br />
<br />
tmpExDate = Strings.Left(Convert.ToStr<wbr />ing(Module<wbr />1.ExDateVa<wbr />l), 2); &nbsp;//ExDateVal is a DateTime variable<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; tmpExDate = tmpExDate + &quot;-1-&quot;;<br />
