I get a compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment error when I try to convert todays date to a string using the following code. I'm probably overlooking something obvious but I cannot figure out what it might be.


Code:
Public Sub LooperDrive()

Dim sDate
    sDate = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy")

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Welcome to the Board!

Works fine for me. Are you sure the error is on this procedure?
I would recommend declaring your variable as String, though:
Code:
Public Sub LooperDrive()

    Dim sDate As String
    sDate = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy")
    MsgBox sDate

End Sub
