Getting the current year

T

This should be simple. I code this:

Dim thisYear

currDate = Now
thisYear = Year(currDate)

And get a "type mismatch" error on the last line. I get the same thing
if I use Date instead of Now. What's wrong with this?

Do you happen to have your own sub named 'Year' defined elsewhere?
Otherwise I can't see anything wrong.

Works fine for me. There must be something else on your page causing the
problem. Prove it to yourself. Create a test page with nothing but these
lines in it:
<%
Dim thisYear

currDate = Now
thisYear = Year(currDate)
Response.Write thisYear
%>

Hi Tim,

Regarding on the gettting current year code, I've created a test asp page
and run it. It seems the code can execute correctly. Here is a complete
test page I used:

===============================
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<%

Dim thisYear, thisMonth, thisDay

currDate = Date()
thisYear = Year(currDate)
thisMonth = Month(currDate)
thisDay = Day(currDate)

Response.Write("<br/>This Year: " & thisYear & ", This Month: " & thisMonth
& ", This Day: " & thisDay)


currDate = Now
thisYear = Year(currDate)
thisMonth = Month(currDate)
thisDay = Day(currDate)

Response.Write("<br/>This Year: " & thisYear & ", This Month: " & thisMonth
& ", This Day: " & thisDay)
%>


</body>
</html>
====================================

As for the problem you encounterd, have you used any other server-side
extension that may cause the problem? For example, is the page an ASP.NET
page or intercepted by ASP.NET runtime that cause the error?

If there is anything I missed, please feel free to post here.

Thanks for all the responses. There was nothing wrong with the code I
posted. I was working on an existing ASP page, and there was a
variable named "year" that was defined and used elsewhere in the page.

Thanks for your reply Tim,

So the problem is caused by that custom variable (also named "Year") and
the problem went away after you removed it, correct?
