How to specify date format in visual basic 6?

Well, I've been trying to compare dates using the CDate() function. For example, I wish to compare 5th of June, 2007 and 2nd of July, 2008. Now, everytime I try comparing these dates as :

Code:

 MsgBox CDate("05/06/2007") >= CDate("02/07/2007")

The answer I get is True because it treats them as 05062007 and 02072007 (at least, that's wot it seems) and ofcourse, 05062007 is larger.

I feel it'd help me if, right when a form loads, I could specify my default date format as yyyy/mm/dd. Could you please let me know how to do that effectively?

Or, it'd even help a lot if you could tell me how to compare dates, more efficiently!!

try this

Code:

Dim i As Integer
i = DateDiff("d", "05/06/2007", "02/07/2007")
If i < 0 Then
MsgBox "FLASE"
Else
MsgBox "TRUE"
End If
