Hi Mike,

Do you mean this?

Dim enddate As Date = Now.AddDays(20)
Dim span As TimeSpan = enddate.Subtract(Now)
MessageBox.Show(span.Days.ToString)

Hi Mike,

They are all the same as Claes, however I was doing more messages in one
time so I did not see it. And Herfried seldom looks what answers there are
already he sends.

Nothing to choose

Would be great if you had a look at my post. It contains two different
solutions!

Herfried,

As forever, sorry I only saw the first.

Please make them next time that simple that even someone as me can
understand that it are two different solutions.

However, you are right, and you know I am someone who has no problem to
admit that.

Sorry again,

:-)

I thought about separating them when typing the post, but then I forgot
to do so and thought that the OP will see that when running the code.

Sorry again,

No problem... You are not the only one who doesn't see
everything... :-))).
