Sub GetDateInfo(Date As Date, Year As Long, Month As Long, Day As Long, DayOfWeek As Long)

The GetDateInfo method extracts the components of a date expression to numeric variables.


Parameter	Description
DateExp	Specifies the date expression to extract components from
Year	Specifies the numeric variable that is assigned the year component from the specified date expression
Month	Specifies the numeric variable that is assigned the month component from the specified date expression
Day	Specifies the numeric variable that is assigned the day component from the specified date expression
DayOfWeek	Specifies the numeric variable that is assigned the day of week component from the specified date expression. Sunday corresponds to 1, Monday to 2, and so on.

The GetDateInfo method can accept only a date value between January 1, 1980 (date serial number 29221) and December 31, 2099 (date serial number 73050). If a date outside this range is specified, an error occurs.

In the following code example, the first line declares the date variable TodayDate. This variable is then assigned the current date with the GetCurrDate function. The variables Y, M, D, and DW are then assigned their respective component of the date stored in TodayDate. If TodayDate was set to May 29, 1996, then Y=1996, M=5, D=29, and DW=4.

DIM TodayDate AS DATE 
TodayDate = GETCURRDATE() 
GETDATEINFO TodayDate, Y&, M&, D&, DW&
