Answer 1

I wrote these at some point - all similar to the above just with a little more detail on the old summer time adjustment thing for me here in the UK.

Public Function UnixToTime(ByVal strUnixTime As String) As Date
    UnixToTime = DateAdd(DateInterval.Second, Val(strUnixTime), #1/1/1970#)
    If UnixToTime.IsDaylightSavingTime = True Then
        UnixToTime = DateAdd(DateInterval.Hour, 1, UnixToTime)
    End If
End Function

Public Function TimeToUnix(ByVal dteDate As Date) As String
    If dteDate.IsDaylightSavingTime = True Then
        dteDate = DateAdd(DateInterval.Hour, -1, dteDate)
    End If
    TimeToUnix = DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, #1/1/1970#, dteDate)
End Function
