You are erronously passing the seconds value into DateSecondsToDate(),
instead of TimSecondsToDateTime(). It's that simple, and yet so
frustratingly complicated at the same time. I've pulled out many hairs
over this one.
You want to do something like this:
DateTimeType dtt;
Char szDate[80];
TimSecondsToDateTime( TimGetSeconds(), &dtt ); // <-- don't use
DateSecondsToDate() here
DateToAscii( dtt.month, dtt.day, dtt.year,
(DateFormatType)PrefGetPreference( prefDateFormat ),
&szDate[0]);
