Greets; Was reading up on ZSyncer (latest release) and one issue comes to mind. Is there a known work-a-round for servers that are located in different time zones or is this already integrated into the product provided each server time setting is correct for its specific time zone? ie: Master server: MET Slave server: EST regards /ch

I have not tried this, but it should work. The times are converted into UTC automatically. Can you try it and let me know if it works as expected? The current UI is a bit annoying wrt. time zones - it currently shows UTC and doesn't bother to tell you what timezone it is. I should probably convert both dates into local time (for the source server) before display. Or maybe make the timezone configurable. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!

Absolutely...but (there is always a but) I will need the other side to be willing to participate..:) I think what I will have to do regardless is, in the comming weeks, test this out thoroughly with a server I may have access to in the States and not in my time zone. This may take a while however.

The later would be preferred but from what I have read and heard its a real pita to deal with time zones programitically..:) Regards /ch
