Tariq,

Not quite clear: does the code in my second reply work or does not work for you? If it does not, then try to use the exact value for pkey as it is on your PC, with upper/lower case, etc.

For the value "C 10 C85 2C" the result is:

cReturnData ="C 10 C85 2C"
? trans(DATETIME(1970,1,1,0,0,0) + buf2dword(cReturnData))
* 08/15/1995, 22:31:31
