Hi there,My problem is the following: When I assign a custom formatted Date & Time to a Date variable it loses it’s formatting. Ex. 2005-06-07 15:46 [Format(Now(), "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm")] now when I assign this to a variable of type Date or DateTime this becomes 2005/06/07 03:46:00 The same code work flawlessly on various other machines, thus I presume this is settings related. I know that the Time function in VB.NET reads from the system time, which you set in Regional Settings under the Control Panel. I did try to change the settings but it did not seem to work, unless I'm not setting it up correctly.Any help would be appreciated.Thanx
