Get File/Folder Date still errors in build 7.0.0.1283

- If the var is string you get :

Error Executing script : OnGetDate  
Exception  
Could not convert value: string to TDateTime.  
  
- If the var is DateTime you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
Exception: Failed to compile script source :&nbsp;&nbsp; File "script", line 1  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dim s  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ^  
SyntaxError: unexpected token 's'  
OnGetDate script event failed.

  

.....

Is this ever going to work?

Oh, if I set the var to string with ignore error check it \*will\* return a date time, but it will be an hour off.

Looks like you have the script language set to Python… so the error script error is indeed an error. This build should resolve the other error :
