Problem getting Date/Time using "Now"

We have 6 CMM's running PCDMIS and the same basic script...one of them returns an empty string when calling "runTime = Now".

Any thoughts? I assume it must be a system or program setting. We've had some other small issues on this same machine that required some setting changes.

  • You don't say what Windows or PC-DMIS version?

    I have seen (a couple of times) a problem with Vista/W7 that the national settings looked like they were set correctly in a newly configured computer, but many things worked erroneously (among them dates). Starting Windows control Panel and changing (for example) to English style, and then back to Swedish style fixed it in those cases.

    Also check the datetime settings in Windows Control Panel ("National Settings"? freely translated from Swedish) that there really is a default format selected.
