Stefan, Sorry I misinterpreted your post. You didn't say that daycnv.pro had the wrong zero point, but that numbers given by the OP were not Julian dates since they had the wrong zero point.

Khaled, to convert your numbers to Julian day you need to add JULDAY(1,1,1) = 1721424 to all your dates. But are you sure that your numbers are not *hours* rather than days since 1-1-1? If it is days then they refer to a year far in the future, but if they are hours then they refer to the year 2012.
