If you convert the date to a number, it will give you the number of days since the ZERO DAY (an arbitrary day that is used to track future and past times). This gives you a decimal value of days and fractions of a day. Just multiple that by the number of seconds in a day:
(Now() * 24 * 60 * 60) That should give you the number of seconds that have elapsed in since the ZERO day. ......................
