Hi, sorry not sure how to do this, but am trying to re-use some TimeZone code on your website but whenever I copy & paste code blocks (orange background) into Notepad or SQL Query Analyser, it stuffs up all formatting, eg: 1000 lines may look like about 10 lines & takes ages to sift through it & reformat it.

It seems that I am not able to modify the article any more so I started a thread for code changes. I will reply to this thread each time there is a change to the code and provide the reasons for the change."

Because it's from 2008, v5 is the one I'm after, from Apr2010. :)

The download does not have the most recent version of the code. Some changes have been made since the article was approved. Once the article is "approved" nothing can be changed so any of the code changes cannot be readded to the download feature of the article. So I started a thread to track changes to the code.

Just copy the code to MSWord first. You can then copy the code from Word to Query Analyser.
