The expression must be a valid date. CVDate accepts either the date or the time, or both. Possible values range from January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999.

CVDate() has identical syntax to CDate(), CVDate() returns a Variant with the subtype of Date, CDate() returns an actual Date type.

dtmRetirement = CVDate("Aug 6, 2083")
dtmRetirement = CVDate(Me!txtDate)
