Hi all, I want to insert a Date type into a VARIANT that will be used by a certain function that needs a Date, but requires a VARIANT* data type. The function looks something like this: _variant_t function(_bstr_t FriendlyName, _bstr_t SubjectName, _bstr_t SMSID, VARIANT *StartTime, VARIANT *EndTime) I can't do anything about the data type because it is a pre-defined function. I tried doing this, but I get an error when accessing the function: VARIANT varDate; VariantInit(&varDate); COleDateTime mytime(1996,1,1,0,0,0); varDate = _variant_t(mytime); Also when accessing the function, I do it like this: ->function(bstrName, bstrName2, bstrID, &varDate, &varDate); I hope somebody can help me. Thank you!
