Similar problem here: windows 7 - Error calling dateadd function - Stack Overflow[^]

Example correct usage:

VB

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Dim datNow As Date
  Dim datYesterday As Date
  datNow = Now
  datYesterday = DateAdd("d", -1, datNow)
  Print "Yesterday = " & CStr(datYesterday)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
  MsgBox (DateAdd("d", -1, Now))
End Sub

Refer: [MS-VBAL]: DateAdd | Microsoft Docs[^]

VB

Function DateAdd(Interval As String, Number As Double, Date As Variant)

Once you have the desired date, convert that into a format needed.
