Based on the error it looks like you're using the old VB6 date control, is that so? Have you tried using the .NET DateTimePicker? I don't believe you should run into such COM errors with the NET control.

I haven't used the VB6 DateTime control in a while but maybe it's having trouble decifering the time element returned by "Now." You might also try the following:

dtpContract.Value = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString

Hi,
Project which trying my hand is upgraded to vb .net by the .net upgrade wizard.

in msdn vb 6, if we search by error text it gives soultion, is the same available with msdn .net
