I know that I'm pretty late on this subject, but I noticed that in the thread no one mentioned Java. If you have any software that uses Java (WSCE, JBoss, Tomcat, Jedit, Oracle, etc.), you need to investigate updating Java (or WSCE, Oracle as the case my be). To maintain platform independence Java does not acquire the date time from the OS, but does it's own calculations. I think the formula has something to do with milli-seconds since January 1, 1960 (or 1970). That means older releases or not updated releases of Java do not know about all of the DST changes here in America and else where. Thanks, Gene Poole gene.poole@xxxxxxx
