I guess I could have just done the translation in the database, even with a 
function call in the select statement for the MSSQL source.  I'll remember that 
for next time.  
 
Hmm.  Maybe I did look at that, but the particular date format I wanted didn't 
have a secret code number?  I can't remember, but it rings a bell.

Hi Jason

That's a Windows artefact, to do with an integer limit in the count of
seconds back to about 1903.

To handle dates correctly I bounce my data through a database (in my case
SQL Server 2005) from the incoming source data and read the database with
FME.  This is a case where FME for SSIS makes sense.

Cheers

Bruce.
