    Please check what value is in the 12th element of readCon variable. We can't do it for you.

    If you have the data in the container, try to use the str2date function for convert the str to date msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa554244.aspx.

    For example:

    str2Date(conPeek(readCon, 12), 123)

    mthOfYr() already returns a number. You're probably confused by the fact that the field uses an enum (MonthsOfYear) and therefore users see a friendly name instead of the underlying integer value.

    You could use a display method returning int instead of MonthsOfYear, if you really want the number.
