WGS to Longitude/Latitde

[Seand]

How to convert WGS84 data stored in the database to
LAt/Lon.

I need this only as output, and the input data will still
be in WGS

 

[Kelvin]

Here is a VB function I have from an excel program that converts UTM to
Lat/Long and vice versa. It should work in Access, but I haven't tried.
I'm not sure how it works, haven't gone through the math, but it works. You
do need to know some information in order for this to work. You need to
know at least 1 lat and long point in the zone. It can be any point, as
longs as its within the zone. These are passed to the first 2 parameters of
the function.

Good Luck.
