I'm late with that but here is my experience with dates and times. In a compagny when you have a client/server application, never use the date and time of a user's computer, in case of you have to store a date in a bill or a time in a log, for example. The settings of each computer has always different. Be confident in the server only. So if it is already difficult to manage time in the same country, in a same firm, it could be result to a real nightmare to manage time for differents users all over the world. I think the best is to trust an outside server which always give you the same time for everyone. Webservices for example allow you to retrive back the universal time. -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
