date variable: first day of this year?

I can set a date to a given fixed value e.g. date1 = #5/31/1993#

But how do I set a date to, say, January 1 of the current year, whatever the year happens to be? Obviously, date1 = #1/1/year(today)# doesn't work...but what does?

You haven't given us much info on the context where this is being used. But if, for example you are building a query in a string in VB6, you could do this...

  1. "date1 = #1/1/" & year(Now()) & "#"
