Hello Terry, On Friday, January 9, 2004 at 12:49 GMT -0600, dancing erupted as Terry L Fritts tapped:

Dan, you can use the MyMacros plugin, <http://en.barin.com.ua/soft/mymacros/>. Specifically, the %RegRead macro would seem to be your best bet. You can get the ActiveTimeBias registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias That should give you the offset in minutes. From there, you can use a simple %IF statement to convert it into either the standard time or daylight time acronym. It'll be much easier than the complicated mess of templates we had before. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
