Thanks Mike,
This seems an excellent place to keep the variable. I was going to
create a UDF called OzNow() that would do a similar thing. However, this
solution does not solve the problem of daylight savings. During daylight
savings, my time will be Now() + 18hrs and when it finishes Now() +
17hrs.
I need to work out when the last Sunday in October is and when the last
Sunday in March is and adjust the difference accordingly.
This is what I have so far...
<cfset wintertime = DateAdd("h",17,now())>
<cfset summertime = DateAdd("h",18,now())>
<cfset thisyear = Datepart("yyyy",now())>
<cfloop from="25" to="31" index="x">
<cfif DatePart("w",Createdate(#thisyear#,10,#x#)) eq 1>
<cfset startdate = Createdate(#thisyear#,10,#x#)>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfloop from="25" to="31" index="x">
<cfif DatePart("w",Createdate(#thisyear#,3,#x#)) eq 1>
<cfset enddate = Createdate(#thisyear#,3,#x#)>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
...
Sorry folks, I'm only just starting to learn this stuff. I'm struggling
with this and would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Tom

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Converting to local time
What i usually do is have a variable in my Application.cfm file called
application.austime.
Anywhere i might use now() instead i use #application.austime#.
In the Applicatoin.cfm file i put the following:
<cfset application.austime= #now()# + #createTimeSpan(0,17,0,0)#> And in
my local Dev version of the site i have the following:
<cfset application.austime= #now()# + #createTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#> so
that i can still use the variable locally.
