Now

[ADO DOT NET]

Hi,
The Now function returns the current date and time.
But it's from system clock, so if user changes the date and time, Now function will return invalid info.
To solve this problem, I need to get the correct date and time from an internet server, but don't know how?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Connecting To A Network Time Server

It's in C#, but even if you program in VB it should be easy to translate.

Hi Marble Eater
Thanks for your great help. Just one thing I cannot change the server name to either time.windows.com or time.nist.gov.
If I change, it won't work!
You know why?

Did you use the correct port? The example used port 13. Most time servers use port 123.
