Here's the full code for the function:

------------------------------------------------------------------
--
--  LibiPodTranslateField
--
------------------------------------------------------------------
function LibiPodTranslateField theFieldName,theFieldValue
   local myFieldValue

   put theFieldValue into myFieldValue
   switch theFieldName
   case "DateAdded"
   case "ModDate"
   case "PlayedDate"
   case "TrackSkippedDate"
     convert myFieldValue to long date and long time
     put it into myFieldValue

     break

   end switch

   return myFieldValue
end LibiPodTranslateField

After a bit of playing around, I discovered that if I change the code  
to use:


     convert 60 to long date and long time

Then it works, if I use:

     convert myFieldValue to long date and long time

Then I get the error. How can I pass a seconds value other than a  
literal???

Also, why, after getting the error can I no longer open the prefs  
dialog?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
