There is no display option to show the time zone of the client, but you can calculate this pretty easily.
1.. Set a date/time field to the value "01/01/1970 12:00:00 AM". 2.. Set an integer field to the value of the date/time field. The result will be the number of seconds offset from GMT in the client's time zone (it will only equal zero if the client is in the GMT time zone). You can divide this number by 3600 (the number of seconds in one hour) to get the number of hours offset from GMT. If you want to translate that number to an actual time zone abbreviation, you could build a lookup form with all of the offset values for each time zone, and set the time zone abbreviation from the lookup form. Keep in mind, this would not account for seasonal daylight saving time adjustments.

However, my question is more related to the display format of the date/time field and whether it is possible to include not only date and time information but timezone of the client as well.

For example, currently the timestamp and user name in a Diary field are displayed as follows: 04/10/2008 14:36:20 AR_ESCALATOR The preferred format would be: 04/10/2008 14:36:20 GMT AR_ESCALATOR Thanks.
