I've seen instances where, because the time stamp is not within a valid range for the network OS, that trying to modify the it will fail.

Well, it's good to have you back.

I've played around with this quite a bit using the API. Since you've been working in C++ converting it to VFP should be easy. The trap is that you have to convert the time stamps to UTC time. Easiest would be to populate a SYSTEMTIME structure, convert it to a FILETIME structure (using SystemTimeToFileTime) the convert the FILETIME (which is still local) to a FILETIME that's in UTC using LocalFileTimeToFileTime. This last function takes care of the necessary adjustment without your having to get the time zone information.
