You can't; there is no such thing as a Date without a value. A
Date variable is initialized by VB as the "zero-date" which is
December 30, 1899. Dates are stored as (but they are not actually)
Double values, so the zero-date actually has a value of 0; but,
since it is of type Date, the system will interpret that as
December 30, 1899. Just so you know, the integer part of the
Double used to hold date values stores the number of days passed
from date-zero (positive is after date-zero, negative is before
date-zero) and the fraction part of the Double stores the time
part of the date (number of hours past midnight divided by the 24
hours in a day).
