Compare dates

[Tagor]

Is there an easy way to compare dates in an if loop? For example using the _NowDate function.

Yes...

[Tagor]

Yes...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Can you tell me how?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ofcourse, but you need to tell me first what you want to compare in your "Loop" statement ....

For example like this:

if 20-03-2005 < _NowDate Then

... something

(however this code doesn't work)

Check out _DateDiff() in the helpfile... that should enable you to compare dates.....

Thanks that works for me. But I have one question left:

_NowDate() returns DD-MM-YYYY

But _DateDiff() works with YYYY/MM/DD

Is there an easy way to convert the _NowDate()?

Just use _NowCalc() or _NowCalcDate() in stead of _Nowdate().
