Claudio,

What am I missing here?...
The table says
VFP Defined Type   COM typelib Conversion   Intellisense quick info
Date                      DATE                      Date
DateTime                  DATE                      Date
If "DATE" is supposed to mean 'datetime' (which seems doubtful to me, but that could be the intent of typing it as they did) then it could at least mention this. How would one be expected to know this?
At the very very least the VFP type for Date deserves extra notation to tht effect.
