I've got a DB with all the time zones copied from the date/time control panel if you want to save some typing/research: did it whilst sat in a train that didn't move for hours in Galway, but that's another story...

No, but if your users are registered you could ask them what time zone they're in. If not, you could grab the date and time from their machine, send it to the server using an image pipe, the image pipe page could set a session variable denoting what timezone they're in (depending on the time differance between the client and the server) and from then on you use that setting to tell a UDF what mask dateformat and timeformat should use whenever a date is encountered. Course, this all assumes that the client will have his/her machine datetime setup correctly, which is a terrible assumption to make. You can probably come up with an even easier way of doing it (I'm just thinking off the top of my head cos I'm in the middle of something else).
