Thanks for the info, Rick.

What I want to do is to take a UTC time that was saved in a field, convert it to the Local Time of this PC, and display it on the screen.

e.g.. let's say this field has the UTC time of 09/05/2013 06:46:44 PM

and the user is in North Carolina on this date of 02/12/2014 10:30:00 AM (EST) and wants to display the UTC field value.....

The Local Time for the UTC value would be 09/05/2013 02:46:44 PM (they were on Daylight Savings Time then so the Bias would be -4 hours)

Does MSDN have anything for that?

Much appreciated !!!!

>>Hi Gang!
>>Here is a question from me..........
>>I have data in a field for UTC time. The users don't like this....... they find it confusing and want the data displayed in the LOCAL time instead.
>>So do you have any code that converts the data in the field from UTC to THEIR LOCAL TIME (based on the PC settings).
