This one line caused ALL this:

SetInternational(#Clipper)

Took it out, everything works as it should. Thank you all very very much for your assistance.... again :/

Hi Jeff,

mmmh, wasn´t the reason you switched to Setinternational (#Clipper) because the "am" "pm" time didn´t work with Setinternational (#Windows) ?

anyway, attached is a aef that uses the VO-DataBrowser. The only problem i see is if you start with setcentury(false) and switch at runtime via the checkbox to setcentury ( true) the Date in the hiredate column is truncated to e.g. "02/06/201" . i think that´s a VO-Databrowser bug in the way a record buffer is build. The bBrowser does not show this behaviour.

The Path to the used date.dbf is hard coded. See modul "Start"

GLOBAL gcPfad := "D:Test" AS STRING

Jeff,
You should have looked at the X# docs :

https://www.xsharp.eu/runtimehelp/html/ ... onal_1.htm

As you can see SetInternational(#Clipper) resets the Century, DateFormat and many other settings. This is a function that you should only call once in your app and never again.

Hello Karl-Heinz, yes, it was why I used it, but as with the date problem, it kept playing up, so I gave up on it. Too big a headache. Thanks very much I'll look at the AEF now
