1. StrToDate uses shortdateformat.
2. StrToDate DOES NOT use shortdateformat to check the actual format;
because it accepts only dates of the form N1/N2/N3
- it uses ShortDateFormat ONLY to determine the order of y,m,d
- it uses DateSeparator to determine the actual date separator to use
instead of /
So how come I still can't get this to work... I tried the following
and various other options. Every single attempt gives me a conversion
error. How am I supposed to solve this?
Strip the time part.
You are feeding a date/time pair to something that expects ONLY a date.
Michael.
var
s: string;
d: TDateTime;
begin
// ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yyyy';
// ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yy';
ShortDateFormat := 'd/m/y';
DateSeparator := '/';
// s := '03/06/04 12:45:15:000';
s := '03/06/2004 12:45:15:000';
d := StrToDate(s);
end.
You make a common assumption, which is mistaken:
StrToDate(DateToStr(date)) generally does not work.
Michael.
