Comments

This function will most likely be used to convert date/time formatted information returned via GRAPHLOC.

VBs and Delphi2's date/time format defines the number of days since 12/31/1899. Delphi1s date/time format defines the number of days since 1/1/0001. In both cases, the fractional portion represents the fraction of a day.

Visual Basic and Delphi users will not have to use this function. Visual Basic and Delphi have functions to convert/produce date/time values. Visual Basic has a Date type variable and Delphi uses a TDateTime variable. These are compatible with ProEssentials.
