how do I format a date the way I want it

Dates can be the easiest thing to format. Although it being a very common question. This is simple woving the month and year to different postions. When you want a / for seperation replace the comma within the quotes.

DateToday = MonthName(Month(date())) & ", " & Day(Date()) & ", " & Year(Date())
alert DateToday 'returns mm, dd, yyyy
DateToday = Year(Date()) & ", " & MonthName(Month(date())) & ", " & Day(Date())
alert DateToday 'returns yyyy,mm,dd
