After updating EWB to 2.06b12, loading one of my DBISAM tables causes EWB to display the following error:-

Database load response error (The given "30/12/1899" local time is invalid (situated within the missing period prior to DST)

What is this error about? The table has tons of date fields and one timestamp field. Most of the date fields are blank and the timestamp field is filled.

There is no AfterLoad event.

Please send me the table and I'll take a look.  It's probably an invalid date that needs to be ignored, but I'll have to see what I can do in terms of ignoring them.

I have found the problem. Two of the date fields has "30/12/1899" within them. If I blank out the fields, the error goes away.

Interestingly, if I enter "31/12/1899" or "01/01/1900", there is no error message.

If you can, I would prefer EWB b12 and later to work like b11 and earlier where it doesn't choke on the date because it is still a valid date.

Note: I am using the dd/mm/yyyy format.
