Hi,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I can't seem to find a simple way to extract the date from TSearchrec.date. In other words, the date is returned as a large number, and the normal date conversion functions don't seem to work with this. There must be a simple solution to this that I am overlooking? &nbsp;I simply want to be able to put it in a caption in a date format (10/26/97 for example).<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thanks a bunch.

Converting date on Tsearchrec.
