    Using dates from a textbox

    Hi There,
    I am using a form to ask the user for the start date of a mail program. The form has a text box for this entry and a combobox for the month of data to analyze. The 2 dates are compared to get the number of days from the start date to the last day of the month for the month that was chosen. The porblem I am having is the date entered in the text box in the form "mm-dd-yyyy". The end date is defined such as "1/31/2010". When I compare the 2 the are of mismatch data types. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello Bigflem,

    You failed to mention or show how you are comparing the two. Both the TextBox and the ComboBox return Strings and not Dates. To compare them as dates, they must first be converted into dates. Here is an example.
