    What is the double value returned by the NOW suppose to represent?

    It looks as though the .00001 place is seconds. Is this true?

    Example Output:
    Object 1: 36804.4683217593
    Object 2: 36804.4683333333
    Object 3: 36804.4683449074
    Object 4: 36804.4683564815
    Object 5: 36804.4683680556

    My end result is trying to find out how many seconds it takes to go from one object to the next with some acuracy.

    Thanks

    I couldn't find the article that gave all of the info, but the integer portion of the date field (left of the decimal) represent days from some start date, and the stuff on the right of the decimal are 10ths, 100ths, etc.. Maybe someone else can find the specifics.
