OK ! Try this:

DIM MyDate AS Date
DIM UnixTimeStamp AS Float

MyDate = CDate(CFloat(CDate("01/01/1970"))  + UnixTimeStamp / 86400)

And tell me if it works ! :-)

Note that this formula could be wrong because it seems that sometimes, one or 
two second is added to some years. (man mktime for details)
