Date parameter field problems
I am receiving an error when entering date parameters. Although a date has been selected I get an error message the says "Please enter a Date value". Surprisingly this is not an issue for Date Time parameters. I am running Win XP Pro with .NET 2.0. Thanks LP

Can you post the actual error message details. It should be something like this: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************

************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled. For example: <configuration> <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /> </configuration> When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Not an "exception" really
"Error message" may have been the wrong choice of words. I don't think the application is throwing an exception. (Debugging isn't kicking in) It is just giving me a dialog saying it doesn't like the date. I will try to send a screen shot.

Hi all. I seem to be getting this problem and can't work out a way around :cry: A CRXI parameter asks for a Date and when the date is entered in Corral v 1.0.0.4 (I really prefer this interface to the new ones) then I get the message "Please enter a Date Value". My network is on Windows 2000 - can anyone please shed some light cos colleages want to kill me :shock: Thanks J

I've just noticed (since my above post) that CRXI requires Parameter Dates to be entered in the format "yyyy-mm-dd". But, Corral only accepts dates in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" - even if you use the "calendar feature" (launched by clicking the drop down arrow). Strangely enough, I've spotted that dates don't cause a problem whenever the parameter accepts Ranges as opposed to discrete values - but that won't work for us in this instance :x Does this help anyone work out what I need to do? Thanks - in great hope :?
