show me the .ini anyway. The plugin doesnt treat dates any different whether its today yesterday ... or even tomorrow lol. I tested this pretty extensively last night and added about 15 maintenance items with different dates/odometers just fine

I wonder which order the day and months are in?

**carputer1** · 10-10-2009, 05:04 PM

thats a thought , dose you PI look at the system date format as we are different here to you lot

**Sonicxtacy02** · 10-10-2009, 06:19 PM

wait wait ... you're in europe? lol I'm just using built in vb.net stuff for the date/ date difference calculation. I guess if its reading the incorrect format that could throw things off and halt the date difference sub. For the record though the plugin asks Year then Month then Day and has kickouts for things like months that only have 30 days, february.. all that good stuff. If the date format ends up being the problem its an easy fix. I will just read ISUNITS and specify the format based on that. I've already got some ISUNITS dependant stuff in there in anticipation of making the plugin euro-friendly.

If its done correctly internally, and it asks you each seperatly, it knows which is the day and which is the month..

I've been down this road with the RRSched PI....

Using the ISUNITS is slightly better, but seeing that one can make any custom date format in the win settings, that won't really help.

Shawn, what you should be using for all your date things is the DateSerial func. You tell it each piece DateSerial (Year,Month,Day) and it returns the date in a serial format, which is non dependant on the system set date format. This is what i learned when i added my DateOSK to RRExtented PI.
