Perfect! My DATETIME() function does not take parameters (VFP 5) so I converted the components to strings, ran them together and fed it to CTOT() and it worked just fine.

I needed this becuase we use header files with forms, and if you change the header file VFP recompiles the form (which it needs to) However, that changes the file date/time so you can't tell when you really last updated the form. Now we can pull the form objects timestamp from the SCX and figure out the real date/time of last update.

Thanks,
