Retrieve a date from Excel to add days in VB

Retrieve a date from Excel to add days in VB

(OP)
I am using a spreadsheet from Excel97 as my database and am using VB 5 as the front end.  I have entered a Initial Launch Date into the database and  I want to add days to this date in order to calculate a due date.  Can someone give me some hints?

RE: Retrieve a date from Excel to add days in VB

Dates in Excel are simply numbers indicating the number of days from a given start date (should be 1/1/1900).
So you can manipulate this just adding a number of days (also fractional): you'll get back the corresponding date in Excel when the cell receiving the datum is formatted as date or hour.
