The wiki has been recently updated, but your IDE only update its documentation 
cache once a week.

IsDate() takes a string, and returns if that string can be converted to a 
date, by using localization.

So, IsDate(Str(Now)) will return True, as Str(Now) is a localized date, 
whereas IsDate(CStr(Now)) will return False, as CStr(Now) is a non-localized 
date.

I think only US and english people should have no difference between non-
localized and localized functions.
