using UTC datetimes isn't really i18n. it's used if you need UTC timezone (tz) data (like maybe you live in greenwich, GB) or more often when you need to support different tz in the same application. you "cast" all your "whatever" tz datetimes to UTC when you insert them into your database. that makes converting them to other tz simpler. of course this is all moot if your server's tz uses DST & you rely on cf's datetimes, all datetimes are server datetimes as far as cf is concerned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267666 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
