Thanks, Martin.

DateAdd(h,-X,Now())

Where X is the hours offset

Stuff like this is readily avaible at sites like:

You can put a little function like that into your code and use rightnow() instead of now(). It is set to +6 hours here but can change to whatever you want.
Function rightnow()
rightnow = DateAdd("h",6,now())
End Function
