I have a unique problem. When I export a report from a program, the dates
are formatted as mm/dd/yyyy: 09/01/2008 When other users export the same report from the same program, the dates are formatted as m/d/yyyy: 9/1/2008 I don't know if it's an Excel issue, Windows or even the source program, but that's not important. The export has cell B3 with this value (on my machine): 09/01/2008 to 09/30/2008 When I go into a macro with the following line: Message = MsgBox(InStr(1, "B3", " to "), vbOKOnly, "test") I get a dialog box with "0" This makes no sense...when I use the Find function in the spreadsheet it works: =FIND(" to ",B3,1) Returns 11 I'm trying to find a way in the VB code to account for the different date formats...if I can find where " to " starts, I can trim the value. I need the value to determine a name for the file based on it's contents. Thanks!! |
