If you look in the archives, this topic was recently discussed fairly well. The operating systems do date and time and daylight savings differently. This is inherent in each system. If these calculations are critical to your operation, you should invest a bit of time building a small date-time library to add to your distribution.
I've found that when your only interested in dates, simply adding a 'generic' time solves most of these problems; I generally use 06:00:00 as it is after the daylight saving switch over time, don't use 12:00:00 as there are 12h/24h problems that can crop up. So in Chris' case: put "01/06/2006" && "06:00:00" into tDate convert tDate to seconds put tDate will always give the correct answer regardless of OS, timezone, date or daylight savings.
