Need Urgent Help!!! - VB6 - Time function Help

[patel_ravi]

Hi guys,

I am desperately looking for help in one of my project - been stuck on the issue from long time and fail to find solution myself... Help will be really appreciated.

Let me get to the point. I am creating the application with:

5 labels and 1 timer

1st label caption is current time on my system
and it is refreshed every second by timer

Now i want 2nd to 5th label have time for different time zones in US by deducting time difference between my location and US time zones.

for example:
if time here on system is <20th March, 2008 08:00:00> then the current time by Pacific Time Zone in US will be <19th March, 2008 21:14:00> means PST is around 15 Hours and 19 minutes behind my time zone.

How can i write a code to deduct 15 hours and 19 minutes from the time on 1st label and then display the return value on 2nd label and vice versa.

Please HELP ME!!

did you have a formula on calculating those time?
what is your base time? we will start on it.

User DateAdd like this:

Label2.Caption = DateAdd("n", 19, DateAdd("h", 15, Now))

i got it figured out - long shot but it works

AlaskaTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(a_h, a_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")
HawaiiTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(h_h, h_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")
PacificTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(p_h, p_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")
MountianTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(m_h, m_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")
CentralTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(c_h, c_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")
EasternTimeZone.Caption = Format(CDate(Time$) + TimeSerial(e_h, e_m, 0), "HH:NN:SS AM/PM")

where a_h, h_h, p_h, m_h, c_h, e_h are difference in hours
and a_m, h_m, p_m, c_m, e_m are difference in minute

cannot explain but somehow its give me exact time in that time zones which matches with htt://www.time.gov

i have difference in hour and minutes stored as integer in database and when there is daylight saving i go in data base and change the difference and it reflect in application.

Thanks for the reply though
