Utilities

Parameters

The method has the following parameter:

Str

Specifies the string to be converted to a value storing date. Str must consist of two or three numbers separated by the character defined by the DateSeparator property. The order for month, day, and year is determined by the ShortDateFormat property; possible combinations are: m/d/y, d/m/y, and y/m/d. If Str contains only two numbers, it is interpreted as a date (m/d or d/m) in the current year. If Str does not contain a valid date, StrToDate raises an exception.

Result Value

The integral part of the StrToDate method's return value is the number of days that have passed since 12/30/1899. The fractional part of this value is zero.

Remarks

This method is obsolete. It is supported for backward compatibility only. To convert a string to a date value, use the aqConvert.StrToDate method.
