Date coersion

  • Subject: Date coersion
  • From: Paul Garfield <email@hidden>

I want to take a date string from a text field and convert it into a
date.

The first line accepts the string into nDate
set the nDate to contents of text field "toDate" as string

The help says to coerse the string to a date as follows
set cDate to date nDate

But when run I get Apple script error
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 3 (1)

What's wrong?

I am new to Applescript but hey you have to start sometime!

Thanks
Paul Garfield
