do I go about this ?

Tony,

As you are in the part of the world where an European language is spoken not
Russian or Swedish and not in the USA, then you can simple try the very
simple optimized .Net command

\\\
dim myDate = CDate(31/12/2008)
///

for older versions than 2008

dim mydate as DateTime = CDate(31/12/2008)

Intellisense is your friend.

You mention you want to Parse a string into a DateTime, so how about:

DateTime.Parse( ...)

'DateTime.Parse Exact' + format string, if the date is always in the same
format regardless of the system's date/time format settings.
