hi, has anyone come across a time and date stamp in OLE format? i know encase v6 decodes these but i was wondering if anyone has actually worked out how it does this? I have had a browse and found that the OLE format counts the days starting from dec 30th 1899 to present but i am interested in what each byte stores in the 8 byte time stamp and how it can be decoded? has anyone done this before?
thanks
Your question doesn't really make sense. an OLE date time is a 64 bit floating point value (a double). The integral part is the number of days since 30/12/1899 and the fractional part is the the fraction of the day 0.5 = 1200, 0.25 = 0600, 0.125 = 0300 etc.
So you can't say what a particular byte relates to.
For more info than you probably want on floating point values see
