Convert Now to a stringI have tried to make a string dim abc as string abc = format(now,"mm/dd/yyyy") or abc format$(now,"mm/dd/yyyy") but it doesn't work. I get: 28/25/2006 the day and year are ok, but the month is always wrong, the month is something different every time, Thanks in Advance, Laurence

You are free to use the Format, but did you know that there was the overloaded ToString with the DateFormatProvider dim abc as string = now.ToString("d") I am not sure if it is d but that you can lookup on msdn.
