vb's cDate equivalent with COM

[Hoon]

Hi,

  I have following ActiveX control that takes VB's cDate as argument.
For some reason, I cannot get it to work. I tried COM dates using
DateTime and also pywintypes.Time, which crashes the whole COM with
one of those unintelligiable memory access violation error msgs. Does
anyone have any idea? This is Bloomberg Data control (as you may know
the NYC mayor hopeful).
  Thanks,

Hoon,
