Code won't convert date

[VegaLA]

Hello.
I am trying to convert the current date now() to day month ( 5-Oct) using this code:

Me.txtNow = FormatDateTime(now(), d - mmm)

but as I step through the code the value is still long date.
Have I missed a step or is my code incorrect ?

Thanks in advance,
Mitch...........

Try Format(Date(),"d - mmm")

No point in using Now if you don't require the time.

Thanks Brian, that makes more sense.
