Subject: Type Mismatch - DateConvert

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes 8 Client

Technical Area: Application development

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.0.2

Reproducible: Always

I have come up against a strange problem which I can reproduce 100% of the time. We have a number of users with 8.02 (FP1) of which a very small subset have a problem when making any calls to the CDAT function in lotusscript.

Most clients are fine but there are at least two that bring up the error message: 'Type Mismatch in method DateConvert: STRING found, DATE expected'

This happens when a lotusscript call such as 'MyVal = Cdat("19/05/2009")' is made.

Obviously, this seems to me like a client configuation issue and would be fixed by a re-install but is this necessary and how can we tell if there are other instances throughout our environment?

Thanks,
Matt
