Chapter 2: Working with Dates and Times
Understanding how date/time values are stored in VBA
Using the built-in VBA date/time functions
Extending the built-in functions with new generalized procedures
This chapter is devoted to providing solutions to common problems involving date and time values, including manipulating date values, finding a particular date, and working with elapsed times. Although VBA supplies a rich set of functions that help you work with date/time values, their use can be confusing, and there are many programmatic questions that need to be answered that require functions other than those supplied by the built-in VBA date-handling functions.
