Getting And Comparing Dates

[CAF]

Hi,

Part of my use for this software is automated information on types of accplications. As such, due dates and the like are used.

I would like to be able to tell if a certain form or app has arrived by a certain changing date. The changing date would be something like the 15th of each month. Is there a way to do this inside VG, or do I just need to have the dates all in my database, or is VB the best for this?

 

I have never used VB much, so I'm not sure how useful that would be for this.

 

What suggestions can you offer to this problem?

 

Thanks.

Oh and one more thing, if I had one set date that never gets changed and I wished to "hardcode" it into my script what's the best way to represent it?

For most of such applications I'd just use the Evaluate Expression module.

See functions like:

 

CDate

DateDiff

DateSerial

Day

 

there are many others to help you create a compare expression you need.
