I have the DateTime task set to run before the map. It gets the current date/time and sets it as value of GlobalMessage. I have a message box that shows that it is set. Simple task.GlobalMessage = DateTime.Now messagebox.show(GlobalMessage) Return TrueThen I have the EventReader task on Map Fails. The first part of the task sets variable types and gets the correct log. The next part is to set startTime = GlobalMessage. Right before that, I inserted a message box to show the value of GlobalMessage. it is BLANK. The value from the first task has not been passed. I also added a message box to show the value of starttime after it is set to equal GlobalMessage, but the map never even gets that far. The task ends, telling me “Conversion from string” to type ‘Date’ is not valid. So it obviously can’t set starttime = the value of GlobalMessage, which it apparently thinks is blank now. How can I get the value of GlobalMessage to stick between the before the map task and the map fails task? Thanks.
