No problem here parsing the following

B4X:

 Log(DateTime.DateParse("2/19/2017"))
 Log(DateTime.DateParse("1/1/2017"))

Works for me too, have you changed the date format?

I'm not sure, but in a DateFormat the number of litterals should be ignored when parsing, so you could try

B4X:

DateTime.DateFormat("M/d/yyyy")
DateTime.DateParse("2/19/2017")

I should read stuff better! The problem was that the date was in a array pulled from a CSV file and instead of 2/19/2017 it was "2/19/2017" which is truly not a good date format. It works fine after stripping out the " .

And a "thank you" to people who tried to help you, don't you think so?

Sorry about that. Thanks for the help. I was assuming (assuming is probably my biggest fault) that a thank you to each reply just created extra traffic on the forum that did not contribute to the forum. I was also assuming that the like button was the substitute but sometimes I even forget to click that. I am pretty new to the forum process and I promise to learn from my mistakes. Again, thanks to all of you!
