Need HELP URGENTLY with COleDateTime!!!!!!

[sayvr79]

:eek:I am trying to use a COleDateTime object and use the method ParseDateTime() to convert a string to date/time format.But it returns an invalid status for the object every time the method is called.I have tried all formats of date,date/time as mentioned in MSDN, but none works. In Debug mode, I am also not able to step into the ParseDateTime function. COleDateTime objDate; strDate = _T("2004/01/01"); objDate.ParseDateTime(strDate, 0); I have included The same code works fine in another new workspace/project. But in my project/workspace, it isnt producing any result. Can anyone please let me know what might be wrong? :confused:

It seems strange that you can't step into ParseDateTime! It is declared in \Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRC\OLEVAR.CPP In my experience it would seem that the project could require a complete rebuild. Strange problems like that are normally cured with a complete clean and rebuild. Ant.

Hello! - check with dependency viewer what libraries are truly loaded (maybe you have two copies of some dll?) - MSDN says that only formats DD-MM-YYYY MM-DD-YYYY YYYY-MM-DD are properly handled - see VarDateFromStr - maybe instead of ParseDateTime you can use COleDateTime::Format() ? - check the difference in locale settings (control panel) for date/time format on machines where it works, and not. :)
