  No That's not what he was talking about Robert try this.
  Seconds = Time  and &H001F            'bit's 0-4 in increments of 2
  Minutes = Time  and &h07E0            'bit's 5-10
  Hours   = Time  and &HF800            'bits 11-15
  for Date
  Year    = (Date and &hFE00)+1980      'Bits 9-15 + 1980
  Month   = Date and &H01E0             'Bit's 5-8
  Day     = Date and &H001F             'Bit's 0-4.
