MailboxExpDate Type

Question

I'm coding in Delphi and get an "invalid argument was passed in the function call" runtime error everytime I try to update the MailBoxExpDate attribute of the User object.
I can read this attribute and view valid content in the variable and write it directly back to the attribute and it still fails.
Ideas?

Two possibilities come to mind:
1. The value returned by vUser.MailboxExpDate is being converted from
its returned form to a string if x is a string, but the converse is not
true when you do "vUser.MailboxExpDate:= x;". I set it as a VARIANT of
type V_DATE.
2. You need to do a vUser->Commit() if setting the mailbox exp date
returns SUCCESS.
