date variable to string variable

[Arif Liminto]

hi, i am new vb learner and i want to change date variable to string variable is there any build in function in vb6?

If you're new, I recommend dropping VB6, which is obsolete, unsupported and nasty. VB.NET 2005 express edition is free from Microsoft. And, in VB.NET, the ToString method would do what you're after.

CStr(yourdate) should do it. That said I 100% agree with Christian. Don't learn VB6 - it will only teach you bad practices. And why bother when Visual Studio Express is free?
