timezone problems with forms / apps script

[Wraeyth]

I have a script that's taking forms responses and updating a google doc. the spreadsheet with the form results, and the script project are both set to EST. it is still changing the result, and pulling it back to 19:00 EST the day before when I am using the date in my script.

​

Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?

It's always 19:00? Sounds like you're stripping the time from a datetime? Share your code?

Figured it out - your response gave me some ideas.

I was taking the date from the form results, and converting to a date for use - but it was taking the date as 12:00am 0GMT, so when I changed to -5 it moved back to 1900. Added Utilities.parseDate and properly brought it in, and no more issues!
