    Posted: 23 August 2003 at 12:42pm

This will be simple for many of you, but I am very much a VB and ASP rookie.  I want to display on my page the current day of the week and time.  I know how to use

<% Response.write Now() %>

But my server is 2 hours ahead of me.  How do I write my code to display the current time as two hours earlier than the server time.  Also, what is the format so it displays like this example:

Saturday, 12:40 PM

Meaning, I just want the day of the week and I don't want to display the seconds portion of the current time.

<%
servertime = now()
mytime = Dateadd("h",-2, servertime)
Response.Write mytime & "<br>"
Response.Write Formatdatetime(mytime, vblongdate)
%>
