Hi, all,

When we input a time (e.g., 11:07) in a cell and convert it into one of a date 
format with time (e.g., 2008/1/29 11:07), the actual result is 1899/12/30 11:07.

I input a 0 in cell and convert it into a date format. The result is 1899/12/30.

So I think program takes 0 as default date information of the missing date 
information of the input time.

Now my questions:

1. Why 0 equals 1899/12/30? Is this a convention or a definition of Sun?

2. Is this just a date tells the users that this is not a certain date? because 
we can't determine the date it should be.

BTW, I found in MSExcel, it converted into a "wrong" date: 1900/1/0. I guess 
maybe my 2nd question is the purpose?



Best regards,
Zhu Lihua
