Safari on Mac OS X, works right out of the box. And I will check, but I think Netscape 7.2 on Mac OS X does as well.

Since it seems to be a general issue with time all over the world (at least for me!) how about using Internet Time instead?

Coolio! Since I missed the first one!

Been SO LONG since I've had time to drop in and post an answer, question or something in the "Off-Topic Discussions (http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=26)". But I will try my best to show up for this one!

Hope everyone here is doing well!
