I see what you mean. I guess in that case one would need an API call to do whatever it is Windows does when it adjusts time for summer time etc and pass in SA's id.
Sorry for the off the cuff misleading reaction but thanks for giving me something to think about so I can go poke around for a good answer that may help me someday.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
