What file

[fallnwrld]

Does anyone know what file is the time stored in? Time and date, i thought it was the timedate.cpl file but its not, if you know please let me know. I want the cpu the program is running on to have the same time as another, so when it starts up it would just take that file. So if you can help just let me know.

Just use the Time and Date keywords:

Debug.Print Date

Or if you want both, you can use the Now keyword.

Print Now

Dim ret As Long
ret = Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/f")

if you just want to change it

Lets say if i do that show now function and i get the information to a text file. I know how to read info from the text file but how would i get it to change the current time on a cpu to the one in the text file? Keep in mind i got vb3 so can't use any 32 bit dll's or files. Any suggestions?

Use this code to Alter the System Date & Time, I believe without any DLL's, API's or so

just use the Format function:

Temp = Format(Date, "dddd dd mmmm yyyy", vbMonday, vbFirstJan1)
Temp = Temp & Format(Time, " hh:mm:ss")
msgbox Temp
