MyVar = "04/28/2014"    ' Assign valid date value.
MyCheck = IsDate(MyVar)    ' Returns True.

MyVar = "April 28, 2014"    ' Assign valid date value.
MyCheck = IsDate(MyVar)    ' Returns True.

MyVar = "13/32/2014"    ' Assign invalid date value.
MyCheck = IsDate(MyVar)    ' Returns False.

MyVar = "04.28.14"    ' Assign valid time value.
MyCheck = IsDate(MyVar)    ' Returns True.
