Is there a way to tell when the system time clock is activated? If I had a program that ran in the background at all times, is there a way that when the user double clicks on the time in order to change it, that instead of activating the system time it would activate a program that would first get a password, and then activate the system time for changing purposes.
We are having a problem right now where our time clocks can be manipulated by someone changing the time on their computers when they clock in/out.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Don't know about that, but you could make a work-around several ways...
When someone clocks in, a log file is appended with the current time. If the current time is less than the last logged time, someone's cheating. You could set a tolerance level for different systems (ignore anything under 15 minutes or so)
Either that, or have a program similar to that which keeps an eye on the time constantly, and changes it back if the system time is changed. You could use a timer control on an invisible form, and a log file setup again...

Yeah.
That's what I'm going to do if I can't find out any other way of doing it the way I wanted to :-)

hi,
i know this is not a vb suggestion but if you are using windows then you can use poledit to lock out the clock so when someone goes to click on it they get a message saying that they don't have the correct privalages to do this,
if you want this program i can email it to you, just email me first if you are interested
Merlin ?
