Thanks again, Niphlod. I am getting close to finish what i want to do :-)
I can see that I get the time zone. After changing the timezone a few
times, I am not seeing it any more.....
I am trying to trouble shoot this. I figured that i need to close my
browser, but this doesn't seem to make it work again...
