I was going to make that point, but in fairness to Steve, his example
include a line-break between (as did the one he was commenting on) between
the date and time, whereas yours does not.

Well, if you want to discuss not getting overly complicated why not just
MsgBox Now
Or
MsgBox Date & " " & Time
(and the parentheses are not required either)

This example, with all apologies is bad form.
The 'corrected' version of this would be:
Sub MsgDateDate()
Dim BoxDate As String
Dim BoxTime As String
Dim BoxText As String
BoxDate = Date
BoxTime = Time
BoxText = BoxDate & vbCrLf & BoxTime
MsgBox BoxText
End Sub
Or just very simply:
MsgBox(Date & vbCRLF & Time)
No need to get overly complicated.

Skippy,
The following bit of code should do what you want, if you don't want
it on
two lines, just remove the CHR(13) part from the formula.
Boxdate = Date
Boxtime = Time()
boxtext = Boxdate & Chr(13) & Boxtime
MsgBox (boxtext)

what is
the syntax?
e.g. I was able to figure out MsgBox (Time) and MsgBox

but can not figure out how to get BOTH in the MsgBox
