forgive me for being a bit dumb here, yes I have found the function and even found how to call it, I think this right DayOfTheYear(datetimepicker1.date); how do I get the result, where do I find that, Thank you for all your effort, I dont mean to bother you all but it's how I learn 


uses controls, { for tDate}
       DateUtils; { for DayOfTheYear }

var ThisDate : tDate;  // or tDateTime


Then call DayOfTheYear(ThisDate) where ThisDate is the date you are
working with.  The function returns an integer giving the day number
of the year (and it is correct for leap years, etc).

I think the DateUtils unit is only in Delphi 6 and later, but I'm not
certain about that.

Replace you know what by j to email


this does not return the day number but rather the very date I sent it, Hell I must be a dummy, I can not see how to get the actual day number
