Time and date values are stored as their number of "Ticks" since January 1, AD 0001.

Each tick is 1/10,000,000 of a second.

Keyword Date returns a date string from a ticks value.

Keyword Time returns a time string from a ticks value.

Date and Time are formatted using DateFormat and TimeFormat keywords.

You can use TimeAdd / DateAdd or the time and date constants to do time and date manipulation.

The keywords DateD, DateM, DateY, TimeH, TimeM, TimeS are kept for backwards compatibility but are not as powerful as the new date and time keywords.
