Getting the correct and secure time for multiple users.

[Paterson]

I am creating a program with access for employees to clock in and out when
working overtime. I have a form that will record the current time using the
"Now()" function, and checks for the certain time you are allowed to clock in
and it works great. However, the time recorded is the idividual machine
time, to if somebody wanted to they could change their computers time to
punch in a few minutes early, and then again to punch out late.

Is there way to get a time off of our server (we do not have an SQL server)
and use that for all of the users?

I have not had a change to try this out, but it may do the trick. It was
written for NT, so I don't know if it still is good form newer server os's.

Klatuu, Thanks a lot. We're running MS Server 2000 and my machine has XP,
but it worked great.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to know it works.
