Hi all.Not sure if this SHOULD be offtopic or notBUT, I have written
a an app that can act as a server or a client.
It uses HTTP Protocal to request data and receive data.
Well this works fine, BUT after a period of time, the server appears to
CLOSE the connection, cos. the client generat
Sorry about the bum Format advice - hope it didn't cost too much time.
Discovered that Short Date Formats without separators are allowed in Delphi,
Windows and Excel and create various problems.
Going from date to string is OK in all cases but back the other way is
another matter.
Delphi stops w
Just a thought on the Free-IB thing - giving away free LOCAL interbase
would be an excellent idea - you get the benafits of a C/S db for single
user projects, and the ability to scale if needed.
With the imminent movement in MIDAS licence costs, having localIB
available does fullfill the runtim
Thats what I meant by saying that you get what you pay for... :-)
I remember talking to you in Chch and you saying that you had DCOM installation
all sorted out - that changed did it?

I am trying to organise a VAR program, along with some other programs but they
may take a few months. If there is anyone else supporting Tony's view, then
emailing Annie (GM of Inprise NZ) is a good idea - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - and
tell her you think an Inprise InterBase VAR program would be a good
Depends what database but you should be able to use substring and an update
SQL.
eg. Update MyTable set MyDate = SubString(MyDate,1,2) + '/' +
SubString(MyDate,4,2) + '/' +
SubString(MyDate,6,2)
If the field isn't big enough you would need to inport it into another table
with a bigger field.

I doubt that little IB is a target for MS marketing strategy. Anyway, deep
down in the heart of matters SQL Server is still just crappy old Sybase DB

Me too. We gave up and used the socket server - much much simpler and

I'll pass the idea on.

Many thanks Max for your time, just what I needed
didn't get far with the Format for some reason but used
s:=Copy(s,1,2)+'/'+Copy(s,3,2)+'/'+Copy(s,5,2);
worked a treat

I take back that last suggestion - fast!!
datetostr will give '100999' but not go back the other way - a separator is
required

I posted something a long while ago suggesting something like free licences to grab
the Office developer starring at the hour glass with a client and making excuses
about Access. Surely there is a way to innovate around this problem. I think that

Define the Short Date Format without a separator.
ShortDateFormat := 'ddmmyy';
then proceed with StrtoDate() for your dates into database
then back to usual
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yy';
or, if you want to be Y2K compliant
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/';

If it's a one-off, and elegance is not an issue, - also assuming the dates
are all in the same known format, how about just creating a new string by
using "copy()" 3 times - as in
Format(%s/%s/%s, [Copy(s, 1, 2), Copy(s, 3, 2), Copy(s, 5, 2)])
