Hi,
If i have two dates i want to compare, but they are in different timezones, is there a function that factors this in? Or do I have to manually convert both dates into the same time timezone first before I compare? If there is a way, does it consider time zones that participate in daylight savings or not? Thanks

There is no built in function to do this for you.

I wrote a function that can do it though. Search the forums for udf_Timezone_Conversion. It requires two additional UDFs and one table with about 30 rows or so in it. And yes it considers daylight savings time. The timezones in the table are the only timezones that it supports. But it's most of them anyway.

Let me know if you can't find the UDF in the forums.
