Hi Rudi,

The following are a few solutions I've heard recommended to achieve this task:

1. HOWTO: Use NetRemoteTOD to Obtain Date and Time Information from a Server

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q249/7/16.asp

2. Create a file on the server and then use ADIR() or FTIME() to retrieve the timestamp the server OS places on the file. If using this method, the file must be created with FCREATE(), because STRTOFILE() creates a file with a timestamp from the workstation OS.

Alternatively, you may want to consider storing UTC(GMT) time instead of the time offset by the timezone. See:
HOWTO: Obtain Time Zone Information in Visual FoxPro
