The AsString function will get me the information I need but if you look at
the original code, the routine should run with any kind of data through the
use of DataSize and GetData.
I don't want to have to have any checks in that loop becuase of the
performance hit. That is why I am using DataSize and GetData in the first
place - for the speed.
All I really need to know is why the GetData() method of TField is placing
funny information in my buffer.
Phil.

Check the AsString function (in delphi source) for TDateField... I strongly
suspect
you'll find that the database ain't storing in the same form... if there
was a
global
standard for dates with dateline correction included then all the
development suites could provide stock standard libraries and we'd all be
much happier... Alas...
