Thanks Joe! I store "date" values as noon on the given day and toss out the time part to keep things like this from effecting my software. I appreciate the information though!

Be aware of a Windows OS bug that prevents correct conversion of epoch integers to local date/time due to the recent US DST change: http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=2322 Assuming you've applied the Windows OS DST patch, epoch-converted times can be off by an hour for pre-2007 dates in the time periods that used to not be be in daylight savings time, but are now as of 2007. SQLite relies on the underlying OS to handle these timezone/DST issues. In Windows versions prior to Vista, Windows only keeps one DST record per timezone - regardless of different past DST periods. --- Mitchell Vincent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The issue isn't with SQLite at all, actually, but with the ODBC > driver.
