Ann,
Has this changed sometime?
I used to manipulate dates in Delphi by getting/setting them as Floats,
truncating them etc or using the decimal part etc. (I did this for special
reasons - not for working with dates)
Also I used to see "zero" dates come up in reports as 31 Dec 1899 - when did
this starting point change?

True.

No, it gets stored a two long words, one representing the
number of days since 17 Nov 1858 and one representing
number of 100 nano-seconds since midnight.
