Hi Erik,

>Yeah, I looked at GetTimeZoneInformation as soon as I figured out what was going on, and it looks like it would be quite a chore. (It needs a pointer to a structure). While I have battled API calls that needed similar setup (thanks, Christof, Ed), it's still not easy sailing for me.

Just to mention it... The FindFiles.Prg sample in my Struct class deals with the conversion from "file time UTC" to "file time local time" to "sytem time" to "VFP datetime". Maybe you can use some parts of it, ie. invert this chain and then directly convert filetime UTC > system time > datetime. This should give you the time as FoxTouch() needs it. But of course, you can stick with the registry solution. *s*
