Hello! I have been given an Access table, exported from Clarion, with a date field containing a serial number representing the date. I understand that the Clarion date begins December 28,1800, and that Access begins with December 31, 1899, or 36162 days later. I created a query to update the Clarion date to ClarionDate-36162 (although i've also seen advice to subtract 36161 - I'll know which is right once I've converted the serial to a date), but how do I convert that serial number to a regular date? I've tried CDate([MyNumber] and Format([MyNumber,"mm/dd/yyyy") (and I've tried rearranging the days, months and years in the Format function), but to no avail. Could someone please advise me how to do this? Thank you very much for any suggestions, Gale
