Conor. You OUTLAW try and except? is that right?
Thats kinda "Interesting"
How do you check a string that contains a date, IS a date?
i.e.
try
StrToDate(mytString)
except
Showmessage('opps that not a date')
end;
I know this is not a GREAT example but you get what I mean.
Are you saying that you write a long or complicated function ot
procedure to parse the string and work out if its a date at all?
If this is the casse, surly the above is the more effienct.
I am making some assumptions here obviously.
