texte = Bob,Why not have a quick lookup database that has the DST dates entered into it? Then based on if current date matches or is greater than the change date adjust your cookie code that way?But also a dumb question, so does the cookie expire based on the client time? or the server time? If the client time, maybe a javascript to grab the client time (if that would even work that is) and set it that way?DaleOn Thursday, September 19, 2002, at 04:18 PM, Bob Minor wrote:> On 9/19/02 8:53 AM, John Peacock
