Hi, I have a dataset in .dbf format. It contains Coordinates and Time. The TIMESTAMP is as follows: 03/18/2006 13:30:37 I am not working with the TIMESTAMP column, but when I print out my manipulated dataset using *write.dbf* I get the value *390 *where the TIMESTAMP value should be. Can Anyone help me out why R does this and how I can correct it. Thanks -Roberto [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
