I'm not sure how to do this 100% programmatically, but you can do it by shelling out some DOS commands.

"net time \\servername" will return the time on the remote server.

"net time \\servername /set /yes" will just set the local clock to match the time on the remote server.

If you need to capture the returned information, you could redirect the output of the "net" command to a file, read the file with VB, and then delete the file.

I hope this helps out.

If the server has SQLServer on it, you can do in an ADO query:

[tab]SELECT GETDATE() as CurrentDate

adoRS("CurrentDate&quot will then have the date that the server knows about.
