Obtaining server date/time in Windows XP

[Milan]

Hello,

I made some MDB file which is saved on each user´s HDD. Users can only
add new records, they can not edit and delete them. Each new record is
labeled by some "time stamp" based on the Now() function. Since the
"time stamp" is extremely important I would like to ensure that users
don´t change their PC´s date and time. Is it possible to obtain
current date and time rather from network server than from users´ PCs?

Thanks in advance!
Milan

You can find a solution on http://vbnet.mvps.org

Click on Code library, then Network, go to the section Server
Date/Time and open the article

"Time of Day Information from Specified Machines"
