Microsoft .net Framework
Unhandled exception
Argument 'Date1' cannot be converted to type 'Date'

Re: Toolbox Problems
Looking through the forums, there appears to be quite a few people having problems with toolbox and nearly all report a MS .net framework problem.
I installed MS .net 4 this week and then installed tool box but every time it tries to ftp dayfile, do a back up or anything else it reports a MS .net framework error and closes. Dissapointing as I know quite a few use it with success.

Re: Toolbox Problems
Not all versions of the .Net frame provide backward compatibly, some apps need the specific version they were compiled against.
On the PC I run ToolBox I have .Net versions 1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, and 3.5 SP1 installed.
I'd try installing 3.5 SP1 as a first step.

Re: Toolbox Problems
I didn't know that Mark. However I have just DL'ed from MS 3.5 SP1 and the installer will not run on my win7 64 even in compatibility mode.
Here's what toolbox gives me:

Re: Toolbox Problems
Ah, you don't 'install' 3.5.1 on Windows 7, it is already installed, but needs to be enabled (if it isn't already).
Go to "Programs & Features" and select "Turn Windows Features On or Off", you should find .Net framework 3.5.1 in there.

Re: Toolbox Problems
Tried that Mark but with the same results. However, yesterday, I noticed in the Win7 updates list there was one for .net4 and Win7 so I let it do these and .........success. I have now run several auto and manual back ups and outo ftp'd dayfile all with success.mcrossley wrote:Ah, you don't 'install' 3.5.1 on Windows 7, it is already installed, but needs to be enabled (if it isn't already).

Now my annual summary doesn't need me to keep it up to date .
