Hello,

I am trying to do a script that needs me to know whether today is before or after december 1, 2003.

I have tried the following and it does not work

dim thedate, today
thedate = "12/01/03"
today = date()

if thedate > today then
...
else
...
end if

however this does not work.

Can anyone give me the code that will make this work? I've tried setting thedate = "#12/1/03#" tied with and without quotes...nothing I try seems to work.

please help.

O
B unce!

Nevermind...It started working...I had a type elsewhere in the code.

I don't do ASP development (I do jsp, php, velocity, webmacro, dtml, and a few others though), but it looks to me like you are comparing a string to a date.

I think DateDiff will work to solve your problem. It looks pretty straightforward.
