Not a legal OleAut date

Has anyone else encountered the error message Not a legal OleAut date when using Quick Export -> Excel Instance -> Excel Instance… ? I’m exporting data retrieved from an Oracle dB.

I receive this message periodically and it cancels the export. In this latest example it read 249,937 rows and only exported 249,936. In total there were over 1 million rows.
However when I check the dates in the records around the last row exported all the dates are valid.

Is this some form of a conversion bug with dates between Oracle/Toad/Excel?

This is the full error log I receive. (I am using TDA 3.0.1.1734)

Hi Tim,

I believe this is caused by an invalid date in your original data. Please see this thread below on Quest Support, if you haven’t tried this already.

Can you please ensure that none of the dates you are trying to export are prior to January 1, 0100?

Thanks,
