Thanks Spike,
It explains a lot . But how do I turn a normal date Time like {ts
'2002-02-19 16:40:11'}  into a a 37237.487905100 type (or do I just count
the days ?)

Thanks again

Regards
Russell

They are the time in days since 1900. You can convert them to a date as
follows:

dateadd('d',0,thisdate)

Hi,

When querying the codb all dates come back as 37237.656307900 type strings.

I can turn these into regular date time objects with

DateConvert("utc2local",37237.656307900) but cannot turn a normal date

object to 37237.656307900 type date with DateConvert("local2utc",now()). Any

idea what sort of dates these 37237.656307900 type dates are, and how best

to work with them ? Are they Roman, Gregorian, Julien or wtf are they ?

Any CF functions for working with these dates (particularily turning Now()

into a 37237.656307900 type date, would be very very cool)

Thanks in Advance

Russell
