' returns a date in Hijri format for a given western date
VBA.Calendar = vbCalHijri
strHijri = Day(dtGregorian) & "/" _
& Month(dtGregorian) & "/" _
& Year(dtGregorian)
VBA.Calendar = vbCalGreg
End Function

Function strGregorian(dtHijri As String) As String

See?!! I knew it was there! Makes me think I'd be better as a
librarian than a programmer!

Dear Gurus,

There is problem in passing date as string, can any one send reference
of codes will help a bit for me. as in text box, table field has set as
date.

when i call as msgbox under "1/1/2005" or "1/1/1426" it gives 100%
results, but when i used via text box value putting it gives unexpected
dates or results

i had try following

MsgBox StDteHijriOfStDteGreg("'" & Dt_Dob_en.Value & "'")
MsgBox StDteHijriOfStDteGreg( Dt_Dob_en.Value)
MsgBox StDteHijriOfStDteGreg(cstr(Dt_Dob_en.Value))

even i define as string variable and pass value to this and then try
but the results is same...

can any one help me how to pass date as string to function in modules
thanks and rgds

You REALLY need to make friends with the helpfile. REALLY. How about
using something like oh, I dunno... CDATE() or DATESERIAL or one of
those other handy dandy conversion/date functions. Or shock of shocks,
pass the stupid thing as a DATE, not a text string.
