It may be similar to a Date issue I had recently that had only shown itself
because daylight savings.
Something that worked before England went from GMT to BST stopped working
(something to do with no longer being UTC)
I could write this..
Dim s as String = Date(Now)
Print s

in GMT it printed just the date with no time, then once in BST it started
printing the time as 23:00:00 too :-\

I'm sure Benoit will be able to explain why the sudden change for you.
