Hi all,

I am trying to use the Day, Month and Year functions to extract the
elements of the current date:

  x = Day(Date)
  y = Month(Date)
  z = Year(Date)

When I run these calls in the debug window, they return the right
answer. When I put them into my code, I get to these lines and it says
Compiler Error: Expected Array. Can anyone help me? I'm about to throw
VB5 in the garbage. But I'll save my ranting for another post.

Chris,

I tried: Command1.Caption = Year(Date)
and it works just fine in VB 4.0.
I guess I don't understand the problem either.

I tested your code in VB5 since I didn't have any problems with these
functions in previous versions. I didn't find anything wrong even when I
tried several possible variations with and without Option Explicit. I
suggest making sure that Option Explicit is declared in each form, module
and class file. I need a larger sample of your code to examine in order to
resolve the problem.

I don't own VB5 (yet), so I am only guessing.

An alternative syntax for 'Date' is 'Date()', which VB3 always changes to
'Date'. Has this default behaviour changed in VB5?
