Yes:

1. Create a New Date object.
2. Set its .GMTOffset = 0 (perhaps storing the previous value in a
local variable).
3. Assign the GMT date/time however you like to do that (probably by
assigning to SQLDateTime).  You now have a date object in GMT that
correctly represents the date/time of the file.
4. Change the .GMTOffset back to its previous value.  This updates the
totalSeconds accordingly, so you now have a date object that represents
the same date/time but in your local time zone.

Best,
- Joe
