DateTime

How can I get the numerical date value of a specific date such as 1 Jan 2012?

What do you mean? A TDateTime is a float value. Trunc(DateTimeVariable) will give you just the date portion of a TDateTime.

I know that but I can not find a function that will give me this float value for a date I specify.

procedure TForm30.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
    MyDate: TDateTime;
    MyFloat: Double;
begin
    MyDate := EncodeDate(2011,1,1);
    MyFloat := MyDate;
    ShowMessage(FloatToStr(Myfloat));
end;
