Re: GMT, BST, DST offsets
My belief was that GMT never changes.
Re: GMT, BST, DST offsets
I was leaning that way as well, but wasn't sure.

That's correct. GMT never changes, but England changes to BST during the course of the summer. GMT is the same as UTC, AFAIK.
Re: GMT, BST, DST offsets
You can probably do this all with .NET timezoneinfo classes.

Thanks for idea, but I'm hoping to do this with VB6 and no classes.
I can't imagine that it should be too difficult.
All I need now, I think, is the algorithm for DST and ST.. ie, for 2008 thru
2010, what date it changes fwd and back (I know it's on a Sunday).
2008 >> DST, >> ST
2009 >> DST, >> ST
2010 >> DST, >> ST
Re: GMT, BST, DST offsets
Got this far
Code:
Begin DST End DST
--------- -------
2010 3/14/10 11/7/10
2009 3/08/09 11/1/09
2008 3/09/08 11/2/08
GMT - 5 GMT - 4 GMT - 5
--------------- --------------- ---------------
2010 Jan-1 to Mar-14 Mar-14 to Nov-7 Nov-7 to Dec-31
2009
2008
Need those other dates...
EDIT: Got 'em
Thanks, guys, for info re GMT.
EDIT-2: Even better...
DST beg: 2nd Sunday in Mar
DST end: 1st Sunday in Nov
