HELP:TDateTime bug(delphi 1.02)

When entering a value into a TDateTime field(for instance
7000.5555555555), the returned value is slightly
different(7000.5555555497) Is this a bug or an undocumented feature :-) ?
Please contact me with a solution or a workaround Thanx Richard

I presume you mean in a table ? When I put 7000.5555555555 int a TDateTime type
variable and display it with Format I get 7000.5555555555. Something odd is
going on somewhere. Check that at least doubles are used.

BTW EncodeDate() + EncodeTime() is a better way to get dates and times from
numbers.
