    The API text viewer got this, but I find it strange that it is in the winmm.dll library:

    Code:
    Declare Function timeGetTime Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "timeGetTime" () As Long

    how about GetSystemTime()?

    from MSDN...

    GetSystemTime
    The GetSystemTime function retrieves the current system date and time. The system time is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

    VOID GetSystemTime(
    LPSYSTEMTIME lpSystemTime // address of system time structure
    );

    Parameters
    lpSystemTime
    Pointer to a SYSTEMTIME structure to receive the current system date and time.
    Return Values
    This function does not return a value.

    QuickInfo
    Windows NT: Requires version 3.1 or later.
    Windows: Requires Windows 95 or later.
    Windows CE: Requires version 1.0 or later.
    Header: Declared in winbase.h.
    Import Library: Use kernel32.lib.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Just as a FYI, timeGetTime is in the MM library because it's the high-resolution timer used for multimedia programs
