Hi Martin, I think you tried to format your date with C-style formatting codes such as %a, %d, etc. It may be related (I'm not sure): these codes are GMT-based so the result may be off by several hours if your system time is not GMT. For more info about date formats, see the following doc: <http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CustomDateFormats/>. You could try to use the alternate syntax described at the end of this document and see if you get the same results. HTH. Alexandre At 12:00 29/11/1999 -0800, you wrote:
