Initialise data variables
Could someone please tell me how to initialise a date variable.

I tried
dtDate = 0
AND
dtDate = ""

but neither of these works.

All suggestions will be welcome.

Initialize the variable to what? And is this just a local variable in your VB code?

Initialize it to an empty value.

It is a global variable and it will already have a value when the user moves to the form. There I need to delete its value.

How is it declared?

We would need to know the data type before telling you how to initialise it...

I need to set a date variable to a null value.

I need to do this for two date varaiables. I found a way to do this for one date variable. The code is:

dtDateMin = "#00/00/00#"

I also need to do this for the variable dtDateMax. I tried the exact same thing but when I run the code it returns a data type mismatch error.

Would anyone know what the problem is?

If it works for one, it should also work for the other.

Thanks

I am not sure I have understand you correct. But is this what you are looking for?
Code:
Dim dtDateMin As Date
Dim dtDateMax As Date

dtDateMin = #5/1/2004#
dtDateMax = #5/1/2005#

dtDateMin = 0
dtDateMax = 0
