    I need to be able to convert a regular date 01/20/2000 into Epoch time. Does anyone know the code to do this, or a place I can find a dll that I can call from by VB app?

    Thanks,
    David

    Epoch Time is the Number of Seconds since Midnight of a Start Date, usually 01/01/1970, so you should just be able to use the DateDiff() Function, ie.

    lEpochTime = DateDiff("s", #1-Jan-1970#, Now)
