Without looking it all up (maybe a bit wrong here). convert seconds into days (divide by 60 * 60 * 24) then use java.util.Date or GregorianCalendar to add that number of days to 1/1/1970. Then grapple with DateFormat objects!! I have some totally non-standard date code that I converted from VB after it was proved to me there was a nasty bug in java.util.Date. I can't remember exactly what the bug was but it made us ditch java dates straight away. I never saw it mentioned elsewhere but I guess you could assume there is no such bug now (or never was & we were mis-guided). You can have my code if you ask, wouldn't want to put it on this list - it's un-orthodox & might be held against me! I do believe you should write utility classes for validating/formatting dates so that enforce standards across your system. Then you can recode your date handling ad-nauseum. cheers - keith.
