[Gambas-user] Using dates in Gambas

[Bruce]

Don't know if this helps but... Some few years ago I had a similar 
problem with sqlite3. In the end I got around it by sending dates as 
strings formatted as "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss" e.g. "2014-07-07 00:00:00". 
That was the only format that that version of sqlite3 understood.
