I want to have a user enter a date, and then have the system tell the user the next day's date.
HTML:
Dim rptdate As Date
 
    rptdate = Application.InputBox("Enter date.", Title:="Date Entry", Type:=1)
 
    MsgBox (DateAdd(d, 1, rptdate))

the msgbox line does not want to work but not sure how to fix it..probably an easy fix.
 

Excel Facts

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
dateadd wants a string as the first argument, so the trite answer is, as long as the variable d contains a valid string it should work, but you probably want:
dateadd("d",1,rptdate)

try
Code:
[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Sub test2()
Dim rptdate As Date
rptdate = Application.InputBox("Enter date.", Title:="Date Entry", Type:=1)
MsgBox "The next day will be " & Format(rptdate + 1, "DDDD") & vbNewLine & "Date: " & rptdate + 1, vbInformation, "Answer"
End Sub

using
HTML:
msgbox (rptdate +1)
worked perfectly and did not cause the confusion of the adddate option. if I wanted to do more than just add one day to the date I would exlplore more options.
