Resolution

To resolve this problem, convert the string value to a date value by using the StrToDate function or the StrToDateSep function.

The following is a sample of code that retrieves the date as a string value from the cDocDate control. The code then converts the string value into a date value that contains separators.
Dim strDate As String
Dim dDate As Sdate

dDate.val = GetObjectValue("cdocdate")
strDate = DateToStrSep(dDate)

MsgBox (strDate)
