To correct the date representation you need to use a function like this.

"ReleaseDate: " , WMIDateStringToDate(loItem.ReleaseDate)

Function WMIDateStringToDate(dtmDate)
WMIDateStringToDate = Ctot(Substr(dtmDate, 5, 2) + "/" + ;
Substr(dtmDate, 7, 2) + "/" + Left(dtmDate, 4) ;
+ " " + Substr (dtmDate, 9, 2) + ":" + ;
Substr(dtmDate, 11, 2) + ":" + Substr(dtmDate, ;
13, 2))
Return Transform(WMIDateStringToDate)
Endfunc
