Hi!
I have installed Crossover Pro 7.1.0 to use the ERP of my firm on my Linux (Debian Lenny, German) Notebook. Well, the program is written in Visual Basic 6.0 and needs a German system (Windows) date format to work properly. System (Debian) locale are set on "de_DE.UTF-8", win.ini on Crossover Windows directory has the right settings but I got some strange results with tests of VB6 programs on Crossover.
The test program prints "11.11.2008" for today - thats right (German short date format "dd.mm.yyyy"). But If I want to convert this text back to a date I get an error, because "11.1" is not a legal year. But if I try to convert "2008/11/11" (US date format) I get the right date - 11. Nov 2008.
So there must be a wrong date setting, I think. I'm not clear why convert date to text prints the right German date format but convert back from German text to date goes wrong and I have to use the US date format.
I would be happy on all hints! :)
Regards,
Frank
