I actually had to grep the source for that error because it's part of the original code done a few years back. MSDN says "If the wYear member is not zero, the transition date is absolute; it will only occur one time. Otherwise, it is a relative date that occurs yearly." I've not heard recently of a timezone that has a time shift in one year and never again... doesn't mean it can't happen (October 1752 for example.. 30 days went missing) but it's the kind of thing that would generally get more news coverage... A more likely explanation is corrupted OS timezone data - a broken fix for the recent US DST change pergaps? (this also means the server is running FAT which probably isn't a great idea, given its limitations and lack of security). Tony
