      AddHours is a function - not a method.

      Use

      mEffDateTime = mEffDateTime.Ad dHours(-5)

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

              MsgBox (mEffDateTime.A ddHours(-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.
