Hi Shachar
I have confirmed that I am running the latest version.
The error that I get (in ADO .Net) is :
******************************************************************************
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in system.data.dll
Additional information:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.\r\nParameter name: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an unrepresentable DateTime
******************************************************************************
I have changed to using the ODBC and it is working fine.
Thanks
Craig
