Convert serial date to date string

Hi All,
I have serial dates (39111.501539) in a table and I would like to
convert them to this string format : 1/22/2007 12:31:05 PM. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The problem exists when I
have to maually load the database tables, I get the serial dates
inserted into the table.
Thank you.select convert(datetime, 39111.501539)
Returns: 2007-01-31 12:02:12.967
To manage the format you can use substring and various formats, such as:
select stuff(convert(nvarchar(100),convert(date
time, 39111.501539), 101)+
' ' + substring(convert(nvarchar(100),convert(
datetime, 39111.501539),
109),13, 20),
20, 4, ' ')
Returns: 01/31/2007 12:02:12 PM
