Hello,

I am saving a date with milliseconds into the Registry:

Dec 01 2007 9:12:34:960PM
Registry = Format(Date.Now, "MMM dd yyy h:mm:ss:ffftt")

This works great, but when I try to make a variable (Date) out of what is
saved, I get an error:

"Not a Date"

Dim ADate as Date (or DateTime)

ADate = Format(Registry, "MMM dd yyy h:mm:ss:ffftt")

This works:

ADate = Format(Registry, "MMM dd yyy h:mm:ss tt")

When I add Milliseconds the conversion fails.

Any Assistance Is Greatly Appreciated,

Thanks,

Chuck

Hello,

if you just want to save the date for a roundtrip (save now, restore later),
and the form of the date is irrelevant, you could just save the
DateTime.Ticks to the registry.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause

What do you use to obtain the date? DateTime.Parse?
