Hi Jbv,
This subject has been discussed very frequently. You may want to search
the archives for a solution.
Probably, all will work fine if you take 12:00 instead of 00:00. DST may
be the culprit.

Hi list,
I need to calculate the number of days between any date and
january 1st of the same year.
So I tried this :
put "1/31/14" && "0:00 AM" into tdate
convert tdate to long seconds
put "1/1/14" && "0:00 AM" into date0
convert date0 to long seconds
put (tdate - date0)/86400
which seems to work and returns an integer.
When I try this as 1st line of my script :
put "3/30/14" && "0:00 AM" into tdate
it still works (returns 88).
And suddenly, the following :
put "3/31/14" && "0:00 AM" into tdate
returns 88.958333
Any idea ?
Thanks,
jbv
