>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

Marcus,

Just one more point on this. If it is that the other computers are not correctly set with the appropriate time zone, it is possible to use the API to retrieve the appropriate FILETIME structure associated with the file, and then compare the values with another API call. This should circumvent the problem.
