The GetDateInfo method can accept only a date value between January 1, 1980 (date serial number 29221) and December 31, 2099 (date serial number 73050). If a date outside this range is specified, an error occurs.
Example

In the following code example, the first line declares the date variable TodayDate. This variable is then assigned the current date with the GetCurrDate function. The variables Y, M, D, and DW are then assigned their respective component of the date stored in TodayDate. If TodayDate is set to March 12, 2005, then Y equals 2005, M equals 3, D equals 12, and DW equals 7.

DIM TodayDate AS DATE
TodayDate = GETCURRDATE()
GETDATEINFO TodayDate, Y&, M&, D&, DW&
