I have been trying to extract the digits between the two / symbols in a
date. For example the date (in Australian format, not US) is 23/12/2004. I
want to be able to extract the 12 (Month) from that. I have tried various
left, right and mid functions, but I only seem to be able to get the 23, the
04 or the full date. What is the correct function to use?

Dixie, if the date is stored as a Date field, you can use the DatePart
function to extract the month.
Dim d As Date
d = "12/22/2004" ' Americanized form
Debug.Print DatePart("m", d)
prints:
12

If the field is a valid date datatype (not text datatype):

Of course, ?month(#11/12/2004#) is going to return 11, regardless of what
the short date format is set to!
