I have a time problem since last Sat. Though my computer automatically got daylight saving time my C++ program that adds new row to MS Access table using CTime::GetCurrentTime()is still inserting time that one hour less than currentt iime. I checked Control Panel and it has correct daylight saving time in it. I forced it synchronize with network and still I have wrong time in the table.
BTW it was not the problem last fall when time was changed.
Does anybody knows how to correct it.
Thanks, Pavel.

Didn't you know that CTime::GetSystemTime returns current day and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)? No any daylight saving times! That's why UTC was invented.

If you want local time, use CTime::GetLocalTime...
Think again, may be the best choice for database is UTC date/time field (no time clashes).
