    Posted: 28 May 2004 at 11:35am

Hey i have just moved my forum to another server.

And now ive started getting this error in some of my posts:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'CDate'

/forum/forum/functions/functions_format_post.asp, line 839

But i realy cant figure out why... because the servere dident chance country or anything, and therefore no LCID change either.

As far as i can see, there posts/toppics showing this error is the topics where a posts have been edited, and as i can see the error is refering to the place in the code where the code checks the edit date in the post.

Does anyone know anyway of fixing this problem, i realy dont want to loose all the contents on my forum...

Looks like the server you have moved to is using a different time date setting and so is coursing this problem.

Your only solution is to turn off the feature in the admin area that displays who and when a post was edited.

The only solution left is to change the server so that the locale and time and date settings match that of your old server or try another host.

If you are running an older version try updating to the latest version as some changes where made to how topics where edited around last Christmas.

You should be running the latest version for a number of reasons including security or your forum will be vunerable to hackers!!!

The Access 7.8 version will run with any version 7.x Access database, all you need to do is replace the files leaving the Access database alone. (no importing required)

Yes, and ive just updated to 7.8, and i know the thing about the database, i just used the word "imported" because of lack of other words to express what i ment. Sorry for the misunderstanding...

But anyways i still got that damn error, but well if there isent any way of fixing it, i just have to leave those posts alone or just delete them.

But if you come up with a way of fixing it, i would very happy.
But thx for ur help anyways...
