Re-Format Date
Hi
Can someone please help in how I can re-format the date from ddmmyy back to dd/mm/yy or If someone knows how to check whether a date entered as text is before or after current date. ie "110606" < date when I try it never works as it sees the 110606 as a text field and not a date field. If I change todays date to a text field then as far is it is concerned todays date is greater but if it would have been earlier this week then it would see the 110606 as greater. Any help would be great. Thanks Noemi |
