As with Today(), the Date DMY() and Date MDY() functions also return month, day, and year arguments as seconds. For example, if it were 12:00:00 a.m. on May 19, 2011, all of the following statements would return the same value:
Date DMY( 19, 5, 2011 );
Date MDY( 5, 19, 2011 );
Today();
3388608000
The As Date() function takes the number of seconds and displays it as a date or duration.
As Date( 3388608000 );
19May2011
As Date( 50000 );
