Hello,
I have this

Dim myDate As Date

...
...
How can I check if this date is empty (value #12.00.00 AM# is in there) ?

Thanks,
Andreas

Andreas,
Try using the Date.MinValue property

If myDate = Date.MinValue Then
' myDate is empty
End If

Thanks Carl,
that helped me!

What is better?
a) If myDate = Date.MinValue Then
b) If myDate.equals(Date.MinValue) Then

Andreas

Better? They do the same task.

I prefer the "=" since (IMHO) it's more readable. Plus it's less typing... ;-)

I think it comes down to developer preference...
