I want to convert the following date and time into milliseconds: 4/21/2003 21.50. I know how to convert milliseconds into a date, but not the other way around. Could someone, please, help?

You can use a java.text.SimpleDateFormat object to create a Date object - the Date object has the getTime() method that returns milliseconds.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently trying the following code, but am getting a exception.

How much added effort would it take to include at least the name of the Exception you are getting? My mind reading capabilities extend only to the next room.
