Adding months [message #367847]

Hey

I'm trying to add a number of months to the sysdate.
All I get is ORA-01843 Not a valid Month
I'm doing this through VB BTW.

I've tried the following

add_months(sysdate, 12))
add_months(trunc(sysdate), 12))
add_months(to_date(sysdate,'DD-MM-YY'),12))

I'm pretty new to this so may be overlooking something obvious. Any help is appreciated

Try doing this.
to_char(add_months(sysdate,12),'dd-mm-yy')

Thanks,
