Default "DAYS 360" and the date Feb 28th as start and end

Hi,

I'm puzzled why Excel 2003 gives a difference in days as "-2" when using Feb
28th as the start and end date.

I have the following dates in two columns ("H" and "I") like this:
| 28.02.2006 | 28.02.2006 |

and then a third column on the same line, line 1, which has the formula:
=DAYS360(H1,I1)

And this gives me the result "-2"... If I just change the date to 28.03.2006
for both, it works ok, resulting in "0". The formula is working on this
sheet on every other occasion except on these "double-28.02.2006" dates.. I
even tried adding the "true" or "false" methods after the formula, but no
help.

Can anyone help and/or clarify why this is so?

thanks in advance,
-pjt
