Yes, my timezone does not matter at all, if we plan to meet in Honolulu
local time 12:30.
Try different TZ values with this code (note that wrongly given values
fallback to UTC):

Dim hDate1 As Date = CDate("12/24/2024 12:00") ''<-- here it is given as UTC
Dim hDate2 As Date = Val("12/24/2024 12:00") ''<-- here it is given as
local time

Print CStr(hDate1);; Str(hDate1) ''internal presentation & localized
presentation accordingly
Print CStr(hDate2);; Str(hDate2)
