That is, your code does give 10/10/2009 but adding four days gives 10/12/2009. Here's the modified example and a few other date calculations: http://www.musicaviva.com/test/dates.html It seems the [math date] tag does do the calculation correctly but the output is in U.S. date format no matter how the WebDNA preferences are set. Also, the [math]{...}[/math] syntax *always* treats whatever's inside the {} as U.S. format date. For example, [Math]{07/10/2009}[/Math] gives 733963 while [Math]{07/10/2009}[/Math] gives 733994 (unless I'm mistaken, it should be 734053 and 734054 respectively) Even worse, [Math]{[DATE]}[/Math] gives 733994, in other words, it reads today's date as 08/10/2009 (8th of October) but *treats* it as 10th of August! That being said, I'm only 95 percent sure the server's preferences are set to dd/mm/yyyy date format. Could that be the cause of the problems? (Unfortunately I don't have access to the server prefs myself, had to ask somebody - who *told* me they'd changed it to international format a couple of weeks ago - to doublecheck and I haven't received a reply yet. Maybe the problem's been fixed before anybody but me gets to see the demo page I made ;-) --- > Yep. :-/ This is a bug in the admin templates. Thanks for bring > it to light to the list.

No big deal then, as long as we know about it. :-) Frank
