Dear Mike,<br><br>Take a look at the java.util.Calendar class, specifically check out:<br><br>public static synchronized Calendar getInstance( TimeZone zone ) <br><br>and / or<br><br>public static synchronized Calendar getInstance( Locale aLocale ) <br><br>after you have a locale specific instance check out the java.text.DateFormat class to produce your desired textual representation of the Date and Time.<br><br>Hope this helps<br>-pete
