2440588 = days from Jan 1, 4713 BC to Jan 1, 1970 So it would be something like
convert (varchar(10),dateadd(day, Invoicemonth-2440587, '1 January 1970'), 101) 'Invoice Month 1' ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Moore, Christopher Allen Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 5:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: date field and SQL ** So is there a way to convert 2454436 to dd/mm/yyyy? ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 4:59 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: date field and SQL Date fields are not stored in seconds (You are thinking of DateTime or Time fields).

If I just do a select of the field, I get a 7 digit number (2454436). If I try and run the same conversion against it that is run against the date/time fields: convert (varchar(10),dateadd(second, Invoicemonth, '1 January 1970'), 101) 'Invoice Month 1' we get 1/28/1970. I'm no SQL expert- how can I get the value of that field in a MM/DD/YYYY format? Thanks!
