Creating taskItem in Outlook with date in string format

[aheu9]

I am creating an taskItem in outlook. I have a string with a date in the following format "day mm/dd/yyyy" and I want to use it as the taskItem.StartDate of the taskItem I am creating. How is this done because I get an error of types wehn I try to set the string to the .StartDate. Do u have to create a date object first from the string or is there a better way? if so how is this done?
Thanks in advance!!

Try looking up the cDate function. It's used to convert textual dates to actual dates.
