dateadd()

[Øyvind Isaksen]

Hi!

I need to add 1 day to a specific date.
The date have is stored in a variable called "DateOld". The value of the
variable have this syntax: mm.dd.yyyy.
The new date is the variable called "DateNew".

This is my code that dont work:

DateNew = DATEADD(d,1,DateOld)

What is wrong here??
I get this error message: Invalid procedure call or argument: 'DATEADD'

The first issue is that the first argument needs to be a string, not an
empty variable, so you'd do:

DateNew = DateAdd("d", 1, DateOld)

But I don't think it'll work with that dot format. (Whoever started putting
dots in dates and phone numbers should be eliminated!) Replace the "." with
"/" before you use DateAdd.

So true ;-)

The function should be culture-aware. There are plenty of cultures that have
alternate numeric delimiters (eg . for thousands, and commas for decimals),
date delimiters, currency formats etc. VBScript doesn't care.
