ExportDataTable() problems with timestamps

Hi,

I have a problem when importing a excel file with ExportDataTable(). Some of the cells on our worksheet have timestamps in 24h format, such as 20:00:00. When running ExportDataTable() the resulting DataTable contains a string with “08:00”.
Now when trying to convert that value to a DateTime, it is 8 am, isntead of 8 pm.

When I call the DateTimeValue property for that cell, it returns a correct DateTime object with the correct time portion. But StringValue returns “08:00”.

This seems to be a bug! Can somebody please help?
