[Gambas-user] With Date one day less

[Gianluigi]

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
