what does it mean when it says invalid number of delimiters in input date string?

Question

and how do I correct the problem I am trying to print W-2

Answer 1

It means some function in your program expected there to be a certain number of arguments in a certain function, and it either didn't get enough or it got too many.

It sounds like a problem with your specific computer program. Call the manufacturer's technical support.

Answer 2

The program is trying to read a certain number of fields from one string, For example, If it wanted your first and last names and age, the string would be "Tom,Jones,23".
The commas between the names and age are the DELIMITERS in this example. They tell the program the first name has ended, and the last name follows the comma.

Now if the string was "Tom,,Jones,23" or "Tom,Jones,23," there are too many commas, or an 'Invalid number of Delimiters'.

So for your Date field, maybe you have "Sunday, January, 7, 2007" or something.
Delimiters can be other things besides commas, so check for extra slashes, spaces, semi-colons, etc.

Hope that helps.
