[DUG]: Dates On NT4

2001-06-14 Thread Michael Pelly
Hi All, I am having aproblem with dates on an NT4 machine. Overview: My program is doing a batch move from an ascii file to a Paradox table for processing of the contained data. Problem: the short date format is set by the program, initially. This works fine on both win98 and win2k, but on NT4,

FYI: The date format is used by QBE (Query By Example language) for input and wildcard character matching. It is also used by batch operations (such as DbiDoRestructure and DbiBatchMove) to handle data type coercion between character and date types. ie I needed to set the date format in the BDE

Without a lot more detail it's hard to know what's happening here. But from your description I'd guess that a unit is explicitly destroying something in it's finalisation section that is automatically destroyed (or about to be destroyed) by the framework. Remember that owned components don't

Had a similar problem recently and fix by (don't know why...) going to the registry HKEY_USERS\.default\Control Panel\International and changing the Short Date format. All normal international settings were correct in Control Panel, but for some reason the registry was still in American

I would suspect it isn't NT4, but the users date format setting. We have had many problems communicating dates reliably between different machines and now tend to use FloatToStr(DateTimeVar) which gives an ASCII floating point number which can be read as DateTimeVar = StrToFloat(ASCII_Value) Be

Thank you Nello, I found TWinSocketStream that looks like it's gonna do the trick. Another question is: Can I have multiple TClientSocket/s in my app, each belonging to a different thread and connected to different sockets on the same server and running simultaneously? Anything I should be

Watchout - Are you using a buggy Delphi version? - 3.x (.01?) had a date bug of 1 day - however Delphi Date 0 = 30-Dec-1899 - Same as MS SQL etc as far as I know - this is because they both use the same date format - as supported by variants - a Double. Be careful though - Delphi's TDateTime
