Thanks for the reply Tom,
For now I only need to get the time zone info for the location of the
computer. But, as mentioned, it is always returning the informatino in the
TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure in day-in-month format whereas I need it in
absolute format. Do you know how to get it to return in absolute format?
cheers,
Phil.
