Learner,

I think you need to use DateAdd, not DateDiff:

DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -60, Now)

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim da As Date = Today

da = da.AddDays(-60)

MsgBox("60 days ago is " & da)

End Sub

Perhaps this will help.

Yes that works. Thanks for the help. Also, i am just wondering if you
could help with me how do i handle windows file management in vb.net? i
would use FileManagementSystem in classic or vb script. Is there an
article to go about it . Because i am moving Directories and
subdirectories and files to a different location and also need to crete
folders and subdirectories on the fly if it doesn't find them.

I am trying with Imports System.IO but any code snippet to manage the
folders and files?
Thanks

With My.Computer.FileSystem

..CreateDirectory("C:\Test")

..CopyDirectory("C:\Test", "C:\Test1")

MsgBox(.DirectoryExists("C:\JoeSu"))

'there are plenty more methods and properties for file management

End With

Hopefully, you're using 2005 ...
