Nope. Whoever implemented that 20 years ago didn't hook it up to anything and nobody has since. Maybe because the implementation itself isn't very useful. It's saved as a string, and only "Asia/Tokyo", "Australia/Sydney", "America/New_York", "America/Chicago", "Europe/London", or

So, does it matter what Timezone I pick for a security in the Security Editor? In particular, "Use local time" versus "America/New_York"? On Sun, Apr 2, 2023 at 6:57 PM john wrote: > > > On Apr 2, 2023, at 1:37 AM, Fred Tydeman wrote: > > > > I am talking about price quotes. I am trying to
