Use CDate to convert a string to a date/time.

Dim d1 As Date
Dim d2 As Date
Dim d3 As Date

d1 = CDate("August 12, 2004")
d2 = CDate("2:07:30 PM")
d3 = CDate("August 12, 2004 2:07:30 PM")

Print d1  ' prints 8/12/2004
Print d2  ' prints 2:07:30 PM
Print d3  ' prints 8/12/2004 2:07:30 PM

It is very often that you need to get current date/time in your development.

Select CAST( CONVERT( CHAR(8), GetDate(), 112) AS DATETIME)

VB

System.DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyyMMddhhmmss”)

Now()

To initiate a date field as today’s date in Syteline form, need to use CURDATE().
