Hi Benoit, You are always very kind, your explanation has allowed me to understand.
The string data is assumed at 00:00:00 and therefore one hour back from the day before. If I had written '--------------------------------- Public Sub Main() Dim d1 As Date d1 = "6/15/2008 01:00:00" Print Format$(d1, "dd mm yyyy") ' > 15 06 2008 End '---------------------------------- I got the right date being an hour ahead of us. Thank you very much Regards Gianluigi 2017-01-21 19:34 GMT+01:00 Benoît Minisini <gam...@users.sourceforge.net>: > Le 21/01/2017 à 19:22, Gianluigi a écrit : > > Hi Charlie, > > > > I thank for the answer and will do so too. > > But my poor mind cannot comprehend the question of time zone. > > > > Regards > > Gianluigi > > > > > > If you convert a string to a date, then the string is assumed to be an > UTC time, *not* a local time. > > To convert a local time as a string to a date, you must use the Val() > function.
