Check out the ToString function on your date.

myDate.ToString("-format-")

Dim strdate As String
        strdate$ = VB6.Format$(Now(), "YYYY-MM-DD")
msgbox(strdate$)

another way

now()function cant be used. im reading 2 variable dates from datepickers....
iv allready solved aneway,, i created a function to read the date as string, break it in to charecters and then re-arrenge it the way i want

Did you try ToString()? DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") should have worked.

msgbox(strdate$)

I am trying to Format my date
but i am getting error;;

Dim mydate As Date = Format(cmbScheduleDate.Text, "MM/dd/yyyy")

cmbScheduleDate.Text Value is 05/30/2007 10:00 AM

I am getting error :Conversion from string "MM/dd/yyyy" to type 'Date' is not valid

even i tried taking value in to string insted of date
like Dim mydate As String = Format(cmbScheduleDate.Text, "MM/dd/yyyy")

if i write this line i am getting mydate value is "MM/dd/yyyy"

make sure you do

dim mydate as string

mydate$ = VB6.format$(cmbscheduledate.text, "YYYY-MM-DD")

remove the -'s from your to string function
let me know if that works if not ill look at it some more

[memyself&i]

its all the same.. same error pops up

[jlego]

i don't have alot of time right now to look at it (at work)

i normally use the vb6 format feature
i just add the vb comptatibility reference
then i do the following

vb6.format$(now, "YYYYMMDD")

has never given me a problem

[jlego]

i see from looking at your code that you are using the format$ (just got time to check it out)

FORMAT$(datetimepicker.value, "YYYYMMDD") should work without a problem i do it alot
