Convert a string to a date.
Syntax
DateValue (expression)
The expression must be a valid date. The Date data type accepts either the date or the time, or both. Possible values range from January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999.
The interpretation of two-digit years will vary according to the versions of Windows. To be sure the function returns the proper value, use a four-digit year.
The DateValue() function can be used in VBA or in an SQL query.
Example
Dim dtmRetirement as Date
dtmRetirement = DateValue("Aug 6, 2083")
dtmRetirement = DateValue("12/30/2012")
dtmRetirement = DateValue("December 30, 2012")
“If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people” ~ Chinese Proverb
