Seamus I have this issue too, hosting some of my sites in teh Midwest of the USA, when I'm in Australia. So i have an application variable called application.austime which I set in the Application.cfc file on all my sites. Depending on where they are located in the world, application.austime might be set as #now()# or #now()# + #createTimeSpan(0,16,0,0)# or whatever time difference is appropriate depending on the relative status of daylight savings.
Then instead of using #now()# in any of my apps, I can use #application.austime# and when I upload the files to the server, the time values will stlil be correct. And Yes, I know I could use Locale, but I developed this method of handling it before I learned about locale. Anyway, Australian daylight savings change dates differ from year to year as the politicians get it into their heads to change things. I'm not at all confident that the folks at Adobe or Microsoft will keep abreast of our daylight savings debates and many changes. (for example the NSW government brought forward the change to summer time by 8 weeks prior to the 2000 Olympics to suit NBC's prime time schedule).
