system time?? real hard...!

hi all,

anyone knows HOW to force windows to UPDATE the clock according to the CMOS?? this is basically what i need.

i tried using SetSystemTimeAdjustment after turning on the SE_SYSTEMTIME_NAME priviledge, however this freezed my clock, which keeping the funny part asaide is not what i need to do. plus, this would work only in win NT/2K/XP models.

or, is there a way to read from the CMOS real time clock??

i need windows to update the clock because some debugging application i use in a server happen to freeze time and clock goes out of synch.

hope some guru out there has an answer,

cheers 2 u all,

Here's a link for something along the lines, i dont think its exactly what your looking for but, you can tell me:

Goodluck :wave:

Isn't this just what you want?

VB Code:

Sub Form_Load()
Time = #12:00:00 AM#
End Sub

Whenever you set the time in Windows (and with that), I would assume it would set the CMOS and windows would just read from that..
