getting current date

[manontheedge]

I'm working on a program in VB6 and I need to be able to have the program display the current date ( actually, i just need the day number ), but I have no idea how to do this is VB...is there a built in function for this?

if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

The function Now() returns the current time. You could use the Day function to get the day number. That would be...

Dim DayNumber As Integer
DayNumber = Day( Now() )

(Note, I think you can leave the parentheses off Now, as well.)

You can also use the Format() function to return the day from a date/time value.
