Date object into FMP field


  • Subject: Date object into FMP field
  • From: Simon Forster <email@hidden>

I'm working on a project where I have an AppleScript date object which I want to write to a FileMaker Pro date field. Just trying to set the field to the date object fails. I can get the date as a string in the dd/mm/yyyy format that my (UK) version of FileMaker will accept. However, as soon as someone in the US uses this script, it'll fail (or give unexpected results).

So, what's the preferred way of getting a date into a FileMaker Pro date field? Is there something obvious that I'm overlooking? If not, how can I tell what date format FileMaker is working with?

TIA

Simon Forster
