Yeah, that was vaguely on my mind too John, good suggestion. C.
-----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of John Bird I am pretty certain that 30/12/1899 is a unique start point for Delphi - other systems (Unix and Windows) look to start at 1970 or 1980. I am guessing as I haven't dealt with registry dates that you need to do something similar to a file datestamp - FileDatetoDateTime and/or FileTimeToSystemTime API I saw some code examples at http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Delphi/DatesAndTimes/index.html which appear to back this up (about 1/4 way down the page). Is the date value likely to be a windows integer date/timestamp? _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
