Problem with encoding date - but works on Win98
Hi Sonnich, This error message comes from the Borland Delphi Runtime. The error is returned by Delphi functions such as Encodedate(), if the function cannot handle the parameters passed to it. So, your SCM program was written using the Borland Delphi language. When the Delphi VCL Runtime calls a date function on your XP machine, it hits this error. This specific error was reported quite a bit by Delphi users, after XP SP3 was released. It even affected some of Borland's own products; see: http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=61610 As described in that bug report, the problem is often caused by a known issue for XP SP3 when used in the Jerusalem timezone. If that matches your scenario, see this Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953917 Download and install the hotfix described in the article, and (hopefully), SCM will then run okay on XP. Hope this helps, Andrew -- amclar at optusnet dot com dot au On 17/05/2010 02:16, jodleren wrote: My problem is an older programme, Next from SCM for Windor 60 to exact. Probably that doesnt tell you much. Originally it works on Win98, and can be reinstalled and work on Win98. On Win XP however, it will work the first time, but after that it will give this error: Invalid argument to date encode. Then an access violation will occur, and the programme will not work. I tried it on to Win XP computers, the result is the same. That was yesterday, 15.05.2010. It does not even read in the language or anything. All functions result in an access violation error. As it works on Win98, it has to be related to some kind of windows DLL or something. Any ideas anyone? |

Thanks Andrew, that explains. At I installed the update, but that did not change much. However, knowing the nature of the problem is enough as I'll let them use Win XP without SP3 - then it will work for them WBR Sonnich |

Just a word of warning Windows XP SP2 and earlier versions on 32 bit systems will reach end of life on July 13, 2010 as well as Windows 2000 Professional. |
