>To make sure my users computers are all on the same version, I check the date/time stamps of the executable they are running. I have one user with one computer that says the exe was created at 7:24, while all the other machines say 15:24. When we view the file over the network, every other machine shows it as 15:24. (using network neighborhood and viewing properties) From the offending machine we copied the exe from another computer and it said overwrite file... 15:24 with this one ... 15:24. After clicking yes and viewing properties, it still says 7:24!!! If it were saying 3:24, it would make some sense, but this one is beyond me. Any experience like this out there??? Thanks for any feedback

Hi Marcus,

I think Jerry might be onto something. I think, however, that it might not the one machine (showing 7:24) but the others. Here's why. File date/time stamps are in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). You're located in the Pacific Time Zone, which is 8 hours behind UTC. If the machine that last modified the file was properly setup, and saved it at 7:24 PT, the UTC time on the file would be 15:24. Any machine that was properly setup, would see it as 7:24. Any machine that was not, might be set at the the UTC time which would properly show 15:24.

Make sense?

hth,
