Re: [OctDev] Function 'now' off by an hour

[Paul K. <pki...@us...>]

I switched to use datenum(clock) in now.

I think the problem was that the offset from the current time zone to 
coordinated universal time changes throughout the year and I was using 
a constant offset from GMT to the current time zone.

Thanks,
