##### Examples

The following example is applicable to Basic syntax:

Rem Blackout period is Jan. 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999, inclusive
BlackoutDates = CDate(#1/1/1999#) To_ CDate(#4/1/1999#)
If CurrentDate In BlackoutDates Then
formula = "Blackout"
Else
formula = "Free to trade"
End If

If today's date is Dec. 31, 1998, then "Free to trade" is returned since it is before the Blackout period.

If today's date is Jan. 1, 1999, then "Blackout" is returned since it is within the Blackout period.

If today's date is March 31, 1999, then "Blackout" is returned since it is within the Blackout period.

If today's date is April 1, 1999, then "Free to trade" is returned since it is after the Blackout period.
