Date Time Delays

Pardon my ignorance but is there any easy way to pull information out of a table in Eastern Standard Timen that is currently stored using a different time zone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you know the difference in hours between the time zones, use the DateAdd
function to get the other time zone time from EST.

thanks.... but seem to be having problems with the syntax of the function. I am trying to create a ref table with time zones and time differences. This table with have a number that will represent the difference in time from the actual data and the result i need to get.

You need two tables like this:
TblTimeZone
TimeZoneID
TimeZone

TblTimeDifferen ce
TimeDifferenceI D
TimeZoneID
TimeDifference

TimeDifference is the number of hours difference between the TimeZone
represented by TimeZoneID and EST.

In a form you would have a combobox based on TblTimeZone to select the time
zone and a textbox to enter the time. There would be another textbox to
display the time converted to EST. The control source of this textbox would
be:
=[NameOfTimeTextB ox] +
DLookup("[TimeDifference]","TblTimeDiffe rence","[TimeZoneID] = " &
Forms!NameOfYou rForm!NameOfThe Combobox)

I'm having a problem creating a delay before each list item gets moved ( http://www.polisource.com/PublicMisc/list-splitter-timeout-bug.html ).

I've a requirement to find the elapsed time between two function calls. I need to find the time elapsed accurate to 1 millisecond. The problem I'm facing right now is that, I'm using the 'time()' function call for the purpose and regardless of how many time I invoke the function within my program, I get the same output!!! For better clarity consider the code snippet below. ... start_time = time(NULL);

I'm doing an embedded systems project and I'm programming it as fully- portable C89 (except of course for setting the pin values). I need to put delays in the program, in the vicinity of 250 ms. (They don't need to be exact). Does C have a built-in method of putting in delays? If not, I was thinking of defining a macro called "FLOPS" (i.e. floating-point operations per second) and then doing something like:
