biblatex | Invalid Format of URL Date despite correct Entry

Post by tobisax »

Hi,

I am having a problem with the urldate of my bibliography file. It seems that TeXnicCenter can't compile the "last accessed" date due to the warning "invalid format of field urldate".

I checked the requirements by biblatex and my bibfile contains the proper format: urldate = {2012-10-13}

Additionally I never had that problem before. This is my basic code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}


% Verschiedene Pakete ----------------------------------------------
\usepackage{rotating}     % Umdrehen von Objekten (Tabellen, etc.)
\usepackage{array}             % Gleichungen untereinander ordnen und nummerieren
\usepackage{graphicx}     % Grafiken einbinden 
\usepackage{url}                % Urls ohne Probleme einbinden
\usepackage{multirow}        % Tabellenzeilen zusammenfassen
\usepackage{multicol}        % Tabellenspalten zusammenfassen
\usepackage{tabularx}        % erweiterte Tabellen
\usepackage{subfigure}					% Mehrere Bilder nebeneinander
\usepackage[reqno]{amsmath}
\usepackage{pdflscape}			% Querformat
\usepackage{float}					% Befehl wie beispielsweise [H]
\usepackage{acronym}				% Abkürzungsverzeichnis
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc} 	%Umlaute
\usepackage{subscript} 					%tiefergestellt


% Seitenformat-Pakete ---------------------------------------------------


\usepackage{geometry} %Ränder einstellen
\geometry{letterpaper, top=25mm, left=25mm, right=25mm, bottom=25mm,
headsep=10mm, footskip=7mm}



\usepackage{fancyhdr}     % Paket zum Einstellen des fancy-Designs
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{} % Kopfzeile links
\chead{} % Kopfzeile mitte
\rhead{} % Kopfzeile rechts
\cfoot{\thepage} % Fußzeile mitte
\rfoot{} % Fußzeile rechts     
\lfoot{} % Fußzeile links
% Einstellen, dass im Rechten header das Kapitel gezeigt wird
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{%
\markboth{\thesection.\ #1}{}}
\rhead{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\renewcommand{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}

% Zeilenabstände ---------------------------------------------
%\linespread{1.2}
\usepackage{setspace}
%\onehalfspacing
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}

% Literaturverwaltung------------------------------------------

\usepackage[backend=bibtex8, style=authoryear-icomp, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=7]{biblatex}
\usepackage[babel,english=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage[pdftex,bookmarks,colorlinks,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black]{hyperref}

% Delimiter für Text und Format für Bibliography einstellen
\renewcommand{\postnotedelim}{: } % Delimiter nach Jahreszahl, vor Seitenzahl im Text
\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{#1} % S. vor Seitenzahl im Textzitieren deaktivieren
%\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{number=\mkbibparens{number}} 
\renewcommand{\bibitemsep}{9pt}


% Journalartikel-Einträge Formatieren--------------------------------------------------------------
\renewbibmacro*{journal+issuetitle}{%
  \usebibmacro{journal}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%
  \iffieldundef{series}
    {}
    {\newunit
     \printfield{series}%
     \setunit{\addspace}}%
  \printfield{volume}%
  \iffieldundef{number}
     {}
      {\mkbibparens{\printfield{number}}}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printfield{eid}%
  \setunit{\addspace}%
  \usebibmacro{issue+date}%
  \setunit{\addcolon\space}%
  \usebibmacro{issue}%
  \newunit}

\bibliography{litreview}
The references are getting compiled, but the info about the last date of access is missing. Can anyone of you think of what might cause this problem? Any comments are very much appreciated.

Thank you so much
Tobi

I still don't know what was wrong about my code but I copied a previous version and it worked.
