retrieve date from db and use selects to reflect day, month, year seperately

Hi

I have a form which allows a user to select a 'commencement date' using separate day, month and year drop downs. The date is then submitted to db in DDMMYYYY format(as required).

I now need to allow user to edit this date if they need to. So, I retrieve the date from db as ie. 30101968. I now need to place the first 2 digits (30) into strDay, second 2 digits into strMonth and last 4 into strYears so that I can reflect these values in the their relevant drop downs.

Does anyone know how to 'grab' those specific values?
Thanks!
Lee

hi leeolive,

you can use the function Mid(string,start[,length]) for your date
Code:
dim mydate
mydate="30101968"

strDay=Mid(mydate,1,2)
strMonth=Mid(mydate,3,2)
strYear=Mid(mydate,5)

no problem, that's what forums are used for.
