I purchased Infowallet, (it's awesome) and so feel it's alright to scavenge
your bit of code. :-)

Bonjour,
After following the quoted adv!ces from SparkOut,
I found a handler given in 2006 by Peter Brigham on nabble; it is running well
on PC (it avoid the 1970 barrier!)
Thank you Peter ;-))
When age < 4 (baby), I need to get it in month so I keep the handler from Jim
Ault (thank you Jim

Done; in fact, I discovered that I had already put 5 votes for this bug, quite
a long time ago ;-))

As well as changing your handler, which is unfortunately necessary at the
moment, if you have access to the QCC you could vote for bug #4941 and/or
message support and bring awareness back to this. It's not that Livecode
"can't" determine pre epoch dates on Windows - it's just that the

Pete, Ken, SparkOut, Bill,
Thank you very much for your attention and your answers.
This morning, I am going to change my handler in order to get windows
accepting it!!
I will let you know my result
Wonderful list ;-))

The problem is the epoch date in Windows is 1970 and LiveCode can't deal with
dates earlier than that in Windows. You will need to use a VBScript.
Here is what I use in InfoWallet which handles Windows, Mac, and Linux
correctly which was based on code provided by folks on this list.
on calcAge
I don't know why this is the case, because Windows can obviously calculate
dates prior to the 1970 start of epoch in other applications... but
something to do with the method LC uses to hook into a date function based
on the epoch will fail.
Try:
put the date into tDate
convert tDate to dateItems
Sounds like time for using Julian Days for the calculation. Per Ken, take a
look at Sarah's date conversion routines at www.troz.net(they include
Julian day conversions). Also, if you happen to be using an
sql database in your application, there are SELECT statements that will do
date calculations

Hi Andre,
I don't have a definitive answer for you but this sounds like it is
connected to "epoch" dates which are the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
I'm guessing that somewhere along the line, your dates are being converted
to the epoch format on the WIndows platform that would certainly cause
13 matches
