Cor,
you've been very kind.
Can you please try this code? because I'm getting mad....
Dim dt As New DateTime(&H1C6366CABE6C280)
MessageBox.Show(dt.ToString)
ad3 = CDate("21/02/2006 00:33:29")
MessageBox.Show(dt.Ticks)
I get a meaningless 20/02/0406 22:26:19
(ok this is equal to my code, exactly the same wrong date)
while if I use all other programs (i.e. AXE 3)
I got: 2006/02/21 00:33:29
that is the right information.
the funny thing is that the Ticks of the right date are:
ad3.Ticks &H8C8049591E69280 Long
So it looks like that "old" ticks are different from new ones!
I realy don't understand
