Hi
I have a user who uses an edit field to enter a date in the format
dd/mm/yyyy.
I have to convert this to a ddmm text field and doing the following
works find.
Shortdateformat := 'ddmm';
Filename := 'File' + datetostr(strtodate(Maskedit1.text)) + '.txt';
This gives me the result FILE3006.txt
The problem is that if I change the shortdateformat to mmyyyy or mmmyyyy
the convert fails with an exception saying invalid date format. Why will
it convert 30/06/2000 to 3006 and not give me either 062000 or Jun2000?
Thanks
