If I have CurrentDate as String, like I do here, I get the following

But if I take out the As String and have only "Dim CurrentDate", I get
the following result:

Why do I get the time for the Variant and not for the string?

I understand the difference between these functions (which don't work in
asp.net, apparently). My problem is that I am using the same function
and get different results, depending whether the resulting variable is a
String or Variant.

The Date datatype contains time as well as the date, just like in Access and
SQL Server. Dates are numbers with subType Double. the whole number
represents the number of days since the seed date, and the decimal portion
represents the time of day (.0 = midnight, .5 = noon). If you provide a date
without providing the time (which I guess is what the Today function is
doing), the date is stored as nnnnn.0. So when that date is written, the
"12:00 AM" is included.

I understand that and have no trouble with that.
What I am confused on is why we get different results, depending whether
the resulting variable is a String or Variant. I am assuming that the
time is being truncated for the String and not for the Variant. Why?

I have not started using .Net yet so I can't answer that question. If the
answer isn't in the documentation, then you should ask over at
..dotnet.framew ork.vbnet (I think that's what the group's name is ... )
My guess is that Today returns a string containing only the date, so when
assigned to a string variable, it only contains the date. When the value
returned from Today is converted to Date, the 12 AM is implied by the lack
of a time specification. Again: look it up in the documentation, or ask on
the vbnet group.
