Problem Case:

We have employees in multiple time zones.  Our form has a DateTime Picker control where employees enter the date and time for a change request for IT.  All employees have been instructed to enter all times in as EST, unfortunately this has caused some scheduling problems.  For example, Cliff in Illinois (CST) requests a change for 12:00 AM EST; however, when Bob from IT opens the form in Florida, the value displayed in the DateTime Picker control is 1:00 AM EST.  


I&amp;#39;ve been reading other posts that describes how the control renders the time (UTC +/- #hours), but haven&amp;#39;t seen a NON-CODING solution to rendering the exact value entered into the control.  Do formulas have a role in solving this?

Thank you in advance for your help.</description></item></channel></rss>
