wamanma,

You would need to get the time from the website location of one of several NTP servers around the world. The most commonly used one are the Navy's. Look here for servers http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ntp.html

I believe this is what you want.

A simple way to do this

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
'What ever time is in txtTime, that will set the time. e.g. 15:38:00
Time = txtTime.Text
 
End Sub
'But you will need some error checking for the time entered

Search the forum for GMT and/or Universal Time. I think you will find some code.

Don't forget that you'll need to identify the offset (timezone) if you want the time to reflect local time. I *thought* I had some code here for doing that but danged if I can find it now (I do remember it took me some time to figure out so hopefully I didn't delete it).
