expiration date tracking

[RyanB87]

I am trying to keep track of the expiration dates on various products and alert the user when an item has reached and/or passed the expiration date. So I want to allow the user to enter an expiration date for a product(mm/dd/yyyy) and then compare this to the current date (mm/dd/yyyy). I have been trying to come up with the logic that would work correctly and I am having some trouble getting a setup that works for every possible date. Does anyone know how to do this comparison correctly in LabVIEW?

Hi Ryan,

what about this little gem:

Is this enough logic for you?

What exactly do you mean by "every possible date"?

Thank you very much. It's kind of embarrassing how simple that was. My problem seems to be recognizing all of the features LabVIEW has.

By all possible dates, I was trying to get into the realm of comparing the month,day, and year all serparately, so I was trying to come up with boolean logic in order to make it work. 

But, this works very well. Thanks.
