Getting subject error in a PE 802 with SQL 2005 installation when creating a new contact record. Everything I can find says this is related to date format, but can't find anything out of place with this install.

On the customer's system we get the error, but the record is still created after clicking Ok on the error. Took a copy of the SQL database to another system and on that one GM crashes when creating a new contact record.

My guess would be that the Lookup.ini is populating a date-based field, and it is using the old syntax which is no longer applicable:

$dtos(date())

Yep, good call. Never thought to look there.
