    You must mean "UTC", SQL doesn't have a GETGMTDATE function. :-O

      Nope, GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, and is not adjusted - the UK switches between GMT and BST (GMT + 1) for winter and summer respectively.

      Interesting. I'll look into that on our servers. I've seen the GMT reference (yes I know what GMT is short for), but not a BST. but you are right - there is a separate check box for whether to adjust for DST. We have our severs set to UTC for consistency... Thanks for the info... Mark (just a cog in the wheel in Denver, CO)

        Actually, it's not British. Its French. Universal Time Coordinated (dumb Frogs can't even get sentence structure correct). Jim aka dumb American ham radio operator who, along with 700,000 other dumb American ham radio operators, only uses UTC when logging radio contacts.

        Jim, because it was the result of a compromise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time#Etymology[^]
