The Gregorian Calendar is only valid from Oct 15, 1582 onwards (depending on local rules). The preceding Julian calendar ended on Oct 4th and there are no intervening days. Java's GregorianCalendar allows you to go from one to the other. In one sense Oct 14th doesn't exist in the same way that April 31st doesn't exist. However, because your date looks like a Julian date, Java converts it to the next most meaningful Gregorian date--it's 10 days after October 4th. See the Gregorian Calendar javadocs for details. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar Matt Humphrey http://www.iviz.com/ >14th Oct, 1582. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/missingdays.html  SignatureRoedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
