I know that if I have a full timestamp, and wrap the DateValue function
around it, it will give me mm/dd/yyyy. I can't seem to find a similar
function which would return a 2-digit year. Is there such a thing?
7  3214 
AFAIK, no. Just like you can't do a formatdatetime and return "2:32 PM"
It's either "2:32:00 PM" or "14:32." I think that you'll have to manipulate
your date manually with some string manipulations or DatePart function to
return the date in the two digit year format. Just be aware that your
server may explode and your car will burst into flames when the clock
strikes midnight on the night of 12/31/2099.

With default regional settings, that will also return the four digit year.

Interesting. I was not aware of that.
In that case, the "write your own" method:
Function shortDateString ( oDate )
str = month( oDate ) & "/"
str = str & day( oDate ) & "/"
str = str & right( Year( oDate ), 2 )
shortDateString = str
End Function
Response.Write( shortDateString ( Date ) )

Just construct it yourself:
sDate = Date
sMonth = DatePart("m", sDate )
sDay = DatePart("d", sDate )
If sMonth < 10 Then
sMonth = "0" & sMonth
End If
If sDay < 10 Then
sDay = "0" & sDay
End If
sFormattedDate = sMonth & "/" & sDay & "/" & Right(DatePart( "yyyy", sDate),
2)

This will run faster:
Function shortDateString (oDate)
If IsDate(oDate) Then
Dim ar(4)
ar(0) = Month(oDate)
ar(1) = "/"
ar(2) = Day(oDate)
ar(3) = "/"
ar(4) = Right(Year(oDat e),2)
shortDateString = Join(ar,"")
End If
End Function

Timestamps support infinity. However if appears dates do not.
When timestamps are cast to dates, there is no output. Is this an acceptable option or not?
Below are a number of examples showing what I am experiencing.
The last own shows how converting timestamps to dates and then ordering doesn't give you the
order you want. Maybe you should just order by the timestamp to begin with. However
Date does not understand infinity at all.

I need to compute an expiration date based on the number of hours,
days, or months purchased.
The expiration date needs to be expressed in minutes something like
'1260481600'.
How can I get the current date and time expressed in minutes?
Once I have this number I can add the number of minutes purchased to
the current date/time to get the expiration date.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
