Thanks Sarah, Jacque and Monte for your investigations. So, it looks like Daylight saving is the culprit! I'm still puzzled as to why I get the 2-hour discrepancy with dateItems:
ask "Enter a time:" with "8:17 am" convert it to dateItems convert it to short time put it => 10:17 am Also, since "8:17 am" Aust. Eastern Summer Time" = 7:17 am Aust Eastern Standard Time, I can't understand why the time went FORWARD on reconversion,not back. FWIW, here's a few other experiments I did after receiving the last few replies: [They all begin with... get "8:17 am" and end with answer it] convert it to internet date => Thu, 6 Nov 2003 09:17:00 +1000 set the useSystemDate to true convert it to internet date => Sun, 11 Jan 1970 08:17:00 +1000 convert it to system time => 9:17 AM set the useSystemDate to true convert it to system time => 8:17 AM I'm not familiar enough with Revolution yet but, those of you who are, does this behaviour make sense to you?
