Well...the daylight savings time was established on March 31, 1918 in the U.S. Maybe the solution you put for the DST before will help you fix the DOB problem too... :) --- On Wed, 8/6/08, Chuck Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Chuck Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: "old" dob To: "Dan Faber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 11:15 PM On Aug 6, 2008, at 8:10 PM, Dan Faber wrote: > I am having trouble saving the date of birth of "old" people.

Something changed in time on 4/1/1918. A make up day? What ever it was, it is vexing when you want to consider a date a date and not the point in time that Java considers it. I don't have any good solution other than to wait a few more years... :-P Chuck -- Chuck Hill Senior Consultant / VP Development Practical WebObjects - for developers who want to increase their overall knowledge of WebObjects or who are trying to solve specific problems. http://www.global-village.net/products/practical_webobjects _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
