What you use is something like the following, where date is your date-variable:


Format(date, "dd-mmmm-yyyy, dddd")

That is my signature, they are Latin phrases.


Nihil simul inventum est et perfectum - nothing is simultaneously invented and perfected

Abusus non tollit usum - abuse does not preclude use
