' Format Function Example

' This example shows various uses of the Format function to format values

' using both named and user-defined formats. For the date separator (/),

' time separator (:), and AM/ PM literal, the actual formatted output

' displayed by your system depends on the locale settings on which the code

' is running. When times and dates are displayed in the development

' environment, the short time and short date formats of the code locale

' are used. When displayed by running code, the short time and short date

' formats of the system locale are used, which may differ from the code

' locale. For this example, English/United States is assumed.

' MyTime and MyDate are displayed in the development environment using

' current system short time and short date settings.

Sub Main()

MyTime = "08:04:23 PM"

MyDate = "03/03/95"

MyDate = "January 27, 1993"
