I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Yes, I have tried removing
the leading zero from the string before attempting to convert it, but that
failed also.
Are you referring to something else?

Have you tried with 7/1/2003?
I ask because it's possible your system date format is not what you
believe it to be.

When I used:
String tmp = "07/15/2003";
TDateTime dt = StrToDateTime( tmp );
It executed without an error.
Has your date seperator changed?

It used to work fine for me, too.
Where could I see if the date separator changed?

Check the Windows Date/Time Settings in Control Panel | Regional Settings. See if they match your expected settings
Other way is to force the Application settings by using the
global variables 'DateSeparator'...
Look for DateSeparator on the BCB Help System.

My Windows DateTime settings are set correctly as M/d/yyyy with a date
separator of '/'.
My TDateTimePicker works if the DateTime entered is '27/1/03' but not if it
is '27/1/2003' nor '7/15/03'.
So, apparently it is expecting the input to be in the form of dd/mm/yy.
Where do I change this to what I want?

In a TStringList I store several date values of the form "07/15/2003".

TDateTime new_dt = StrToDateTime(temp);
I get the message "'07/15/2003' is not a valid date and time."
I am using BCB4.
Thanx,
Tracy

Not a problem ... Just use StrToDate() instead.

But how would I know which format to change the final product to? I know in
which format I'm storing the strings, but how would I know what the output
should be if it's run on someone else's computer?
And why would this same TDateTimePicker be using European dates all of a
sudden? Corruption?

I had a similar problem days before. I used a TListView to store datetime
values, and when I retrieved the value for manipulation I encounter the same
message. I stepped in the code and traced the exact value stored and found
that the string had a 'n' and 'r' (0x0a and 0x0d respectively) appended.
I called the AnsiString's method TrimRight() to remove the control
characters and got rid of the problem. Take a try... :-)
Patrick.

Also, see if you have changed your global settings (i.e., MM/DD/YY vs.
DD/MM/YY). This will give a similar result.
