Here's a strange one. I have a property StartDate (type date) set to "01/01/2000". Can someone please explain why the DTML snippet: <dtml-var StartDate> <dtml-var StartDate fmt="%Y"> renders as: 2000/01/01 1999 (More info on Zope formatting of dates and times can be found in the HowTo: http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CustomDateFormats) Cheers, Darran.
