Have you looked at the mess that API MS has created there? GetTimeZoneInformation only returns information about the current system time. In order to generalize about the offset for a given location and time you first have to call the API to determine whether or not DST is honored, then look up the offset if it is. Then, on your own (no API calls available for this), you need to determine if the date in question is within the DST period, and finally apply the offset. The other way around it would be to set your system time temporarily to the date in question, call the API, and restore the system time. I've actually seen code that uses this approach. ...we now return you to an appropriate TBUDL topic... -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
