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. Or, as Karl said, you can use the Date() function if you have 
the date split into its different components.

It's exactly the same with numbers!

CStr() and CFloat() assume the american format (which is like "UTC" for 
numbers).

Str() and Val() assume the local format.
