Hello,
I have an app that was built with RB2005R2 (MAC PowerPC), I used
longdates a lot and when I saved my files the dates were saved in
the format Tuesday, August 12, 1980.
When I opened my files I would use ParseDate to verify the date and
I had no problems.
Now I have built my app in RB2007R1 and I am getting an error
opening my files, apparently RB2007R1 is expecting the dates in the
format Tuesday, 12 August 1980.
How do I get around that?
It dependent on how your long date settings are set in the OS
Not sure of the precise nature of the change from 2005 to 2007 but it
has to do with only using the OS supplied routines
You're not the first to bump into this change
If you change your long date settings in OS X you may be able to
affect this
The other would be to remove the last , from the dates you have when
you read them and then save them in a format that is much easier to
deal with regardless of any other changes that are made to textual
representations of dates and times (ie/ SQLDateTime format)
The other might be to save the totalseconds instead of the actual
date and then you can show it in whatever format you want
