weird behavior when calculating task finish.

[Nik003]

ok, I'm creating an identical task on two different machines, one connected
to Project Server 2007, and one disconnected (local).

start date: 20/06/2007
duration: 2 days

problem is, when looking at the finish date, I get these results:

disconnected: 22/06/2007 (expected)
connected to PS2007: 23/06/2007 (unexpected)

what's going on here?

Standard questions would be:
- What is the start time of the task on each of the machines?
- Have you got any calendars applied to the task?
- Are the calendars in use identical on both machines?
- Are the hours/day, days/month settings identical on both machines?
- Is resource availability affecting things if they are assigned?
- Is calculation set to automatic on both machines?
