If I am understanding what you are trying to do correctly, by "earliest date" you mean you are trying to get the earliest date possible that Delphi can store. Is this correct?
If so, why not just set your TDate/TDateTime var to zero. This will set your datetime var to the earliest value that can be stored, namely "30/12/1899 12:00 am"

Hi.
I am trying to do a strtodate('01/01/1900');
This is used simply to determine an order of a sequence of dates so I do
this to set the earliest date.
Now on almost all computers this is no problem, but on ONE computer this
dies with an "unknown exception" and I can capture the following
information...
There is also a problem where the computers system date format was
mm/dd/yyyy and this caused another problem, but I think ive fixed that one
with a formatdate call, but this one is really baffling me.
The OS is the same as I am running so I cant see an issue there, and the
system shortdateformat is now correct also.
Can anyone think what this could be? I know datetime is from 13/12/1899
could this be a problem? should I change it to strtodate('01/01/1970');
cheers
