date and time stamp 1

[dpk136]

In vb6 how do you create a date stamp that has the date and time... in the order like "1/12/2005 22:39:45". Thanks,

Check out Now function

Use the Now function. It will give you the date and time returned.

But not necessarily in the format requested, since vbGeneral (the default format used by Now()) picks up its format from the Regional settings

One solution would be:

format(now,"dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn:ss")

Take a look on this, It might help

"""this two will get you the actual date and time of your computer
MyDate = str(date)
MyTime = Str(time)

"""here is how you can manipulate those strings and some others
Dim MyTime, MyDate, MyStr

"""""let's say that this are the results
MyTime = #17:04:23#
MyDate = #January 13, 2005#

' Returns current system time in the system-defined long time format.
MyStr = Format(Time, "Long Time")

' Returns current system date in the system-defined long date format.
MyStr = Format(Date, "Long Date")

MyStr = Format(MyTime, "h:m:s") ' Returns "17:4:23".
MyStr = Format(MyTime, "hh:mm:ss AMPM") ' Returns "05:04:23 PM".
MyStr = Format(MyDate, "dddd, mmm d yyyy") ' Returns "Wednesday,
' Jan 13 2005".
' If format is not supplied, a string is returned.
MyStr = Format(13) ' Returns "13".

' User-defined formats.
MyStr = Format(5459.4, "##,##0.00") ' Returns "5,459.40".
MyStr = Format(334.9, "###0.00") ' Returns "334.90".
MyStr = Format(5, "0.00%") ' Returns "500.00%".
MyStr = Format("HELLO", "<") ' Returns "hello".
MyStr = Format("This is it", ">") ' Returns "THIS IS IT".
