Subject: [Q] how can I create a VB Date object from ruby using win32ole?

I need to pass a VB Date object to a COM object using win32ole. I have  
tried passing in a string (e.g. "2009/12/10 08:00:00") and also  
parsing a date string into a Ruby DateTime object, but the COM object  
rejects it since it is not a VB Date object.

Any idea how I can create such an object from my Ruby code?

I get this error

#<WIN32OLERuntimeError: (in setting property 'RangeStart': )
	OLE error code:80004005 in <Unknown>
	  Only date and integer types are allowed for RangeStart>
