Return Value
expression converted into a Date data type
Description
Converts expression to a Date data type.
The format of expression—the order
of day, month, and year—is determined by the locale setting of
the local computer. To be certain a date is recognized correctly by
CDate, the month, day, and year elements of
expression must be in the same sequence as
the local computer’s regional settings; otherwise,
the CDate function has no idea, for example,
that 4 was supposed to be the fourth day of the month, not the month
of April. The earliest date that can be handled by the Date data type
is 01/01/100. The latest date that can be handled by the Date data
type is 12/31/9999.
