Combine Date and Time in one variable

Hi,

I have two Date variables, the first
one contains a Date, and the other one
contains a Time.

I want to combine them into one variable
that will hold the date from the first
variable, and the time from the
second variable.

I managed to do so by converting them to
strings then assigning the resulting string
into the third variable.. as in the
following example:


Dim da1 as date, ti1 as date, cmb as date

da1 = #9/2/2001#
ti1 = #6:30:00 PM#
cmb = da1 & " " & ti1
MsgBox cmb






the problem with that code is that it does
not interpret dates very well... for example
where '9' in da1 is considered december,
it is understood by cmb as day 9 of Feb!
and if I reversed it .. it still give
a wrong meaning..

however when I tested the code in my home
computer.. it works well with the same
values with no problems (both computers
running Windows 2000 Pro)..

I think that there must be a better
way to do it..
if you have any Idea or thought .. please help!

Thanks in advance

Why you do not add them, just like:
da3=da1 + ti1.
You'll have correct result in da3 variable. Then display it as you want.

Hi,
It seems that your two computers are using different system locale.
The system locale can be changed from Control Panel. Double-click the Regional Settings icon, and then change the system locale value (and then restart your computer).

Thanks Michi...
both computers have the same locale! and I was looking for a locale-independant method.

the solution was as vchapran said.. just add them!

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks vchapran,
You were right.. how could I miss that! I've tried 'da1 & da2' but I didn't think of 'da1 + da2' !

Thanks again and Regards.
