Hi Bernhard,

The reason for the error seems to be that you are returning a date object in your "set myDate1 to date dateString" but it appears you want a string.

I tried this and it worked.:)

set dateString to "Montag, 7. Dezember 2009 00:00:00"
set myDate1 to dateString
try
display dialog "myDate1: " & myDate1 as string
on error errText number errNum
display dialog errText & " " & errNum
end try

Regards,
Jim

Hi List

In AppleScriptEditor, the following code displays the correct date

set dateString to "Montag, 7. Dezember 2009 00:00:00"
set myDate1 to date dateString
try
display dialog "myDate1: " & myDate1 as string
on error
display dialog "ERROR: read myDate1"
end try

In AppleScriptObjC however, it displays the ERROR message.
When i change the first two lines to one single line:

set myDate1 to date "Montag, 7. Dezember 2009 00:00:00"

There is no Error Message.

I don't quite understand why this is the case. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks, Bernhard
