Hi all, I am using ColdFusion to drag some data kicking and screaming out of a very strange MS-based database. The date of birth field has values such as 716640 and 712672.
After a bit of mucking about I discovered that I can place this value in an excel cell and change the format to date to give a value that seems to makes sense. (The two values above yield 02.02.62 and 24.3.51 respectively). Does anyone know what is going on here - and more importantly what can I do in CF to 716640 to make it a date that I can use as a normal date.
