---------
dim mEffDateTime as DateTime
mEffDateTime = Now

mEffDateTime.AddHours(-5)

MsgBox(mEffDateTime.ToString)
 
dim mEffDateTime as DateTime
mEffDateTime = Now

mEffDateTime.AddHours(-5)

MsgBox(mEffDateTime.ToString)
Click to expand...

AddHours is a function - not a method.

Use

mEffDateTime = mEffDateTime.AddHours(-5)

AddHours does not change the object, but is a function that returns a new
object. Try:

MsgBox (mEffDateTime.AddHours(-5).ToString)
 
Bill,

You have missed the part of the documentation for AddHours that explains
that it RETURNS a DateTime that is the specified number of hours away from
the specified DateTime.

The System.DateTime class is immutable. This means that all methods of
DateTime are functions that return a new value and the original value is
left unchanged.
