Default String as date

hi
after this line.....
MyDate = DateAdd("d", 1, MyDate)

add this line
MyDate= Format(MyDate, "mm,dd,yy")

the unexpected results (i think) is from a DateAdd format change.
the line i added will put the format back to the original so that the rest
of the code can put in back on the sheet the way it came off.

Look at this:

Sub aaa()
DateString = Range("A1").Value
MyMonth = Left(DateString, 2)
MyDay = Mid(DateString, 3, 2)
MyYear = Right(DateString, 2)

MyDate = MyMonth & "/" & MyDay & "/" & MyYear
MyDate = DateAdd("d", 1, MyDate)
DateString = "'" & Left(MyDate, 2) & Mid(MyDate, 4, 2) & Right(MyDate,
2)
Range("A1") = DateString
End Sub

I have a 6 character string of numbers in a cell which I would like to
treat as a date, whereas I can add 1 to it in VBA and it would display
as the following day, and then assign that value to a variable. For
instance, 033109 would turn into 040109 by adding 1 to it in a
procedure. Is this possible to do in a macro?


Thanks...
