[Gambas-user] Database Date fields

[Steven Lobbezoo]

Sorry, just found it.
I suppose I should think better before I write.
(Just used Val(Datestring), and all is well.)

I would verry much support the idea from an other mail to this list, to 
construct an index to the documentation, sometimes it's hard to find an item.
