Default NOW & Time Zone Differences

Hi All,

I have a peculiar error with the NOW function which I'm
hoping someone may be able to give me some insight into.

Our organisation has offices located around the world,
with some of the smaller offices connected to a CITRIX
server farm in Malbourne GMT +10. The issue is that when
those users connected through CITRIX Metaframe XP and
they open the documents there are some Ontime & NOW
statements that prompt for user interaction, and run
proc's. When I open / run the code (in GMT+10) they run
fine, with the Now+timevalue("00:00:05") call working
fine.

When the citrix users run the app, it calls the NOW
function slightly different. It retreives the NOW time
from the CIRTIX server & not the Local (regional
settings) time of the remote client. So we have some
offices that are stalling on the NOW + 5sec statement, as
effectivly Now could be in 30 mins time in the alternate
timezones. Does anyone know why this might be, my
understanding was that the app acts locally when ran on
CITRIX (meaning that the local settings are taken into
account)

Any pointers on this one would be great.

Thanks again.

Paul.
