When I use the API to create contacts, the birthday is loaded one day earlier (ex Birthday 1/15/2001 loads as 1/14/2001). No other dates are handled the same way. If this is a feature, how do I turn it off? Another post indicated that it was a timezone related issue. I dont think it is.

If the server time is different than the IS server then there will be a discrepancy. I’ve seen it happen in api many times. Usually we set the script/code in question to run on the timezone needed. Otherwise you might not have the timezone set in your IS app but since it’s been mentioned, I’m imagining you’ve already looked at that?
