I’m having this issue:
lets suppose:
dim vDates() as NotesDateTime
then in a loop, i complete the dates, and vDates(1) = 9/9/99
Dim date As New NotesDateTime(“”)
Set date = vDates(1)
after doing:
date.AdjustMonth(1)
date is then 9/10/99, and so does vDates(1)!!!
Obviously i don’t want vDates(1) to change, only date.
This sounds like a pointers issue, but i can not completely understand it.
But it looks like when i do Set date = vDates(1), i’m pointing date to vDates(1), and if i change one, so does the other?
Thanks.

When you assign one object variable to another, they both refer to the SAME object. If you need an independent object, you need to create a new object.

Well, you are saying what i already suspected, but i need a solution 
Actually, when i do:
Set date = vDates(1)
I want date to get the value of vDates(1).
But i tried set date.LsLocaltime = vDates(1).LsLocaltime, and it did not worked.

Set date = New NotesDateTime(vDates(1).LsLocalTime)

Thanks. That is what i was testing, now, wouldn’t that generate a New NotesDateTime each time it is called?

A new object, yes, but that’s what you want – the old one will be garbage collected when the next new one is created.
