Type mismatch on Date

Post by enonod »

Can somebody please say why this (from the Help File)...

Sub Main
MsgBox "Today is " & Date & "."
End Sub

...fails with 'Type mismatch.

Thank you

It works well for me:

Sub Main
MsgBox "Today is " & Date & "."
End Sub

please try simply:
MsgBox Date

does it work?

Thank you Valeri, sorry for the delay due to my being indisposed.
I tried your suggestion

Sub Main
MsgBox Date
End Sub

and oddly still get error on line 2: Type mismatch
Perhaps there is some kind of setting in Basicmaker causing this.

Works just fine here in 32 and 64 bits. Are you running the current revision 974?

Thank you for your reply. Yes 974.0203 64bit
Really baffled
EDIT
just tried the following from another post and get the same on line 6

Dim pm as Object
Set pm = CreateObject("PlanMaker.Application")
pm.Application.Visible = True
pm.Workbooks.Add

pm.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A1").Item(1, 1).Value = date

dateFromCell = pm.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A1").Item(1, 1).Value
MsgBox "dateFromCell is " & dateFromCell

Set pm = Nothing
