I have a report that brings back data in UT (Universal Time)  The issue is that I have data coming back from different time zones.

Example someone in Central Time Zone starts a project after 9pm.  But since it is using UT it shows it as the next day 2am.  which then throws off my days becuase it should be the day prior not the next day.......

Any thoughts on doing anything in Crystal?

There is the ShiftDateTime function.  I could only find a few examples of how to use it.  I hope this helps.

as long as all the time zones are in the US, life should be ok, since the relative times stay the same for most area that follow daylight savings vs those that don't, but for say los angeles, new york, dallas, the time zone difference is constant though probably not from UT, since los angeles is +8 for PDT while +7 for PST 
Yeah time conversion for UTC is not as simple as one would like.
