Hi,
did some testing by editing a .wpt file, date is in slot 5.
- if blank, for me gives 2.1.1992, obviously according to help file the "a
preset date"
- if zero, gives 30.12.1899 0:00:00
- if 1, gives 31.12.1899 0:00:00

In OziE help file, Tecnical, Data File Formats this is explained and the test
is accordingly. However a .wpt file made today gives a value of 40004 which is
the same as the value of function Today() in Excel, where a number 1 gives the
date of 1.1.1900. The difference of 1 day between the systems, maybe an
exception to the normal leap year rule that has not been handled correctly in
either of them???

Regards,
Bengt
