Not sure which code to use

[ipbr21054]

Hi,
I had this in use the other day,

[COLOR=#333333]TextBox2.Value = Format(CDbl(Date), "dd/mm/yyyy")[/COLOR]

I was told that the CDbI was not needed so i put this in use.

TextBox2.Value = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy")

Looking through some of my code i see this pop up in a few places so the thing is do i need to change / edit it or what,i dont even know what it does or doesnt do with regards the CDbI

TextBox1.Value = Format(CDbl(Date), "dd/mm/yyyy")

Can you advise please

CDbl is a function that converts a value to a double integer data type. Since the Date Constant is already a double interger data type, the CDbl function is not needed, but it does not hurt anything if it is there. You can delete it or leave it alone and the results are the same for the Format function. If the intent was to make the TextBox2 value a double then that would need to be done at the point in the code where that value is applied to something. But, more likely, the CDate funtion would be used than the CDbl. You can get a full read on the C conversion functions by opening the vbEditor and clicking the Help Icon. Then in the help search box, type 'Conversion Functions' and press Enter.
