TypeError: this.dateparts is undefined

Hi all,

I have been running Zotero stable with Word for some time accumulating citations in my dissertation. The following error pops up increasing more, when I refresh, add bibliography, and occasionally when I add a new citation.

Zotero experienced an error updating your document.
TypeError: this.dateparts is undefined

I cannot find a forum discussion on this error?

Troubleshooting so far: -restarted my system/Firefox/Word
-reinstalled add-ons
-Followed the steps at http://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_bugs for Reporting Startup Errors: > no errors are reported?

Initially, it was just my dissertation, but creating a new .docx, inserting a citation, adding a bibliography will reproduce the error. Possibly related, some citations appear out of order or not where I inserted them in the dissertation document.

Please help!
Thanks, MC

What style are you using?

Hi fbennett,
Sorry, American Geophysical Union (AGU). Could my style be corrupt?

Thanks!

try a different style to start with.
If that doesn't produce the same error, re-install the AGU style from the repository and try again.

Thanks Adam. I think that did it. The new AGU style seems to be stable.
Thanks all for the help,
MC
