Hi Simon.  AnswerDateTime is stored as a long.  I've tried the following code but is does not work.  Unhandles class exception.

Date date = (Date)settingsTable.get("AnswerDateTime");

//Long date = (Long)settingsTable.get("AnswerDateTime"); //still generates exception

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

Dialog.inform(sdf.format(date));

Any thoughts on what I am missing?  Appreciate the support.  Thanks much.

Some debugging shows that sdf.format(date) is returning --/--/----

I can see the long value is 1319847922225 but cant get it to the sdf format.

I've found that it seems to work fine if I use...

answerDateTime = (Long)settingsTable.get("AnswerDateTime");

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss a");

long thedate = Long.parseLong(answerDateTime.toString());

Dialog.inform(sdf.formatLocal(thedate));

Is this the ideal solution?
