Thanks Jochem, Tony, Tim, Novak, et. al.
I'll look into your recommendations.

I should have clarified the situation a bit more, however. The database
is MS Access (for now; will probably upsize to MS SQL server soon). I
want to keep this is simple as possible (because I'm a simple person). I
am going to assume that the user's time zone is always local because my
client's business is local. So, in effect, I need only subtract one hour
from the server's time for any transaction (storing appointment times,
mainly). I guess I could set this as a constant in a request variable in
the application.cfm file and then use that for the current time from
then on. Would that seem feasible?

Cheers.
