Hi I have an app that I compleated about 2 years ago with vs2010 and all is working.
Now I just oppened the app in vs to make some additions and the error 'Format' is a type and cannot be used as an expression is all over the entire app in lines similar to these ones in the format function.
lblCustDate.Text = Format$(Now, "MMM-dd-yy")
lblDesignEditDate.Text = Format$(Now, "MMM-dd-yy")
