I have one problem, in my application I have a lot of date field. All, are 'Text' box. When I convert that Text field in date, I recive a error. It look like this:

Private sub ...

Dim Datum1
.
.
.
Datum1=Format(CDate(txt_box1),"mm/dd/yy")
.
.
.

end

I recive a message:

Type mismatch

But, I don't say something. My application work a few months before this!!! Before four days, I reinstall my Windows 2000,VB6,SQL2000,... and from that time I recive this error.I check my regional setings, and date format is OK!
What is problem, I don't see!
Help me!
Thanks.
 
txt_box1 is a control; you need to access its Text property to get the contents. Either of these should work depending on whether you require the date as a string or a date value:

Dim Datum1 As Date
Datum1=CDate(txt_box1.Text)

Dim Datum1 As String
Datum1=Format$(txt_box1.Text),"mm/dd/yy")
