The function Now() returns the current time. You could use the Day function to get the day number. That would be...
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim DayNumber As Integer
  2. DayNumber = Day( Now() )
(Note, I think you can leave the parentheses off Now, as well.)

You can also use the Format() function to return the day from a date/time value.
