Determining the Day of the Month

Summary: When writing macros, you may need to know which day of the month a particular date represents. Here's how to use the Day function to determine that information. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

When creating macros, you may have a need to know the specific day of the month represented by a particular date. For instance, you may want to determine the day of the month on which the macro is being executed. The following code will do the trick:

iDay = Day(Now())

The Day function returns an integer value representing the day of the month of whatever date you provide. In this example, the Now function represents today's date, and so Day returns today's day of the month.

Tip #807 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
