Re: Need script to retrieve time

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The Planet Source Code link Ken provided gives a list of downloadable VB
projects for doing an atomic clock thing (source code).

If you want to approach things a different way... When the system clock is
changed, the WM_TIMECHANGE message is sent across Winders. Catching the
WM_TIMECHANGE message via subclassing will let the app know that someone
changed the system clock, then you can take whatever actions (log the time
change, lock out the app until a boss/supervisor unlocks it, etc.).
