Is there any way to convert from UTC time to a standard date in VB?

Something like gmtime() or localtime() in C

Am I missing something or is that just a matter of taking the UTC value and adding this to January 1, 1970.

Thats what UTC is meant to be anyhow. i.e. 00:00:01 UTC = 1 second after midnight on 1 Jan 1970.

Do you need more help or is that enough of a clue for now ;)

Here is a sample piece of code to go from UTC to date.

Form1 has Command1 button and Text1 and Text2 textboxes.
type the UTC value in Text1 and hit the button.

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Function UTCtoDate(utc As Double) as Date
  Dim utc0 As Date
  Dim mydate As Date
  utc0 = DateSerial(1970, 1, 1)
  ' 86400 = seconds in a day
  mydate = CDate(utc / 86400#) + utc0
  UTCtoDate = mydate
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Text2.Text = UTCtoDate(CDbl(Text1.Text))
End Sub

that did it, thanks
