Does anyone know a easy way to write some code that will find the next day and the previous day? I have a date but I want to know the day in advance and the day previous to that date. I figured this would be easy but it gets complicated when you are on the 31st or 30th or 1st...

Check out the DateSerial function.
MsgBox DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy", Now()), DatePart("m", Now()), DatePart("d", Now()))
' -1 for yesterday, +1 for tommorow
Mark
MsgBox DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy", Now()), DatePart("m", Now()), DatePart("d", Now()))
' -1 for yesterday, +1 for tommorow

ReturnedDate = DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy", year), DatePart("mm", month), DatePart("dd", day) - 1) is what I have typed in but I get a invalid call? ReturnDate is the variable I want to pass back too. Can anyone see something I am missing?

If you use the date part, it needs some date to get the part from. In the posted example given previously, htis was the "Now()". It is a REQUIRED arg for datepart.

Kori,
Just use the DateAdd function.
DateAdd(interval as String, number as Double, Date)
The interval specifies the period which you want added. This could be "m" for month or "d" for day in your case. Number is the amount of intervals that should be added (or subtracted). you have to use negative amounts to subtract. And the date is ofcourse the startingdate.
Also not that if you use only date and the hour is of no importance, you better use Date() instead of Now()
ex:
Tomorrow:
DateAdd("d", 1, Date())
Yesterday:
DateAdd("d", -1, Date())
6 hour ago (time is important so use now():
DateAdd("H", -6, Now())
