Hi Sam,

All data that comes from a form (so a combo box, for example) is in string format - it would have to be converted to a date in order to be used as such and there is no need to convert it to a string. So if you had a form like this:

<select name="monthPart"><option value="01">01, Jan</option>
<option value="02">02, Feb</option>
<option value="03">03, Mar</option>
<option value="04">04, Apr</option></select>

<select name="dayPart"><option value="01">01</option>
<option value="02">02</option>
<option value="03">03</option>
<option value="04">04</option></select>

<select name="yearPart"><option value="2006">2006</option>
<option value="2007">2007</option>
<option value="2008">2008</option>
<option value="2009">2009</option></select>

then you could form your strings like this:

dim fullDate, yearPartOnly
fullDate = request("monthPart") & "/" & request("dayPart") & "/" & request("yearPart")
yearPartOnly = request("yearPart")

Is this what you are looking for?
