I really hope this doesn't sound as dumb as I think it might...

Am I correct that the only difference between the "Date" datatype and
the "DateTime" data type is that "Date" is a VB alias for the
"DateTime" one? Kinda like "Integer" and "Int32"...

I had heard that one was a structure and the other a class, but I
don't think that's right.

Thanks so much!

I also looked up "Date" from VB's help and noticed this line that had
somehow eluded me all this time:
"The equivalent .NET data type is System.DateTime."

Yes!

'Date' is an alias for 'DateTime', which is a structure and thus a value
type.
