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 put 1928 into item 1 of tDate convert tDate to short date if tDate is not a date then answer tDate && "is not a date" else answer tDate && "is a date" end if On Windows, this will always result in "not a date". I know a great percentage of LC users are Mac oriented but there are plenty of cross-platform and Windows developers, so I am rather surprised that there is so little attention paid to this - and the old, old, old bugzilla entry #4941 from 2007. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/age-calculation-on-Windows-vs-Mac-tp3678552p3679589.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
