Any hints? I'm thinking ... extract the 19:57:14 portion of the string and just subtract 5 hours from the 19 part ... but suppose it's 03:57:14 ==> it would be a negative result. Any simpler or programmer's way or implementing a function? Thanks, Paul

Hi, I have a string and time conversion question: How can I go about converting a string in the GMT format Fri, 04 May 2007 19:57:14 GMT to an EST format such as Fri, 04 May 2007 2:57pm EST ??? So is there a way I can always extract the portion 19:57:14 GMT ---> x:xxam EST Thanks, Paul
