Hi, call to "COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime()" get crashed in my MFC aplication. I am using Windows XP, SP2. Development environment is Visual Studio 6 with Platform SDK for XP SP2. Thanx in advance.

The following information is always helpful when diagnosing a crash: - The type of exception generated. - The machine code around the faulting instruction. - The call stack to the faulting instruction. - The source code around the faulting instruction.

COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() has an issue since it uses the underlying time_t type for returning time. Now when year 2038 janhappens time_t reaches it's limit hence wraps around. Instead of COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() try using GetLocalTime. GetLocalTime returns local system time based on your timezone. This is could be the problem. :~ More info[^]

Hi, Ensure that COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() is not assigned directly to other variable than COleDateTime class type. Try if this will throw an exception:

COleDateTime dateTime = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();

How, since we are roughly 32 years away?

Yeah true. But our client tested our product with year greater than 2038 to see if such issues are handled properly. Hence I thought this could be the problem, since our application crashed when it was tested like this.

Actually it uses a DATE, which is a double. CTime has the year 2038 problem.
