Further Day of Week Program

[lenin42001]

Help Can you help with this question:

Use the Weekday() function to return day of week as number 1=Sunday 2 = Monday etc. There are two text-boxes seperated by a command button"Day of week". I've entered aforementioned code:
Select Case WeekDay (txtDate.Text)
Case1
txtDayOfWeek.Text ="Sunday"
Case2
txtDayOfWeek.Text ="Monday"

Case3
Etc
Etc
Etc

End Select
I've tried this but can't get it to work. Where does the code go ? Is it in the validate( ) function on the second part of the first text box. What do you click? The command button or the text box? Help I'm hopelessly confused. What is it trying to do in any case...........?

Hi. You should put this code in the onclick event of the button. there is not enough code here for me to determine why it is not working.

My guess would be that you are invoking the Weekday() function with a string, rather than a date. However, I could be wrong - in some circumstances VB will do the type conversion for you. Anyway, try this...

Select Case WeekDay (CDate(txtDate.Text))

Have you tried it yet? I can't guarantee that's your problem, it just seemed like something worth checking.
