The entire point of my question was that the Net Time doesn't syncronise the Date, it only does the time

I'm afraid i have been clear. Basicly at the moment my form looks at the date on the users computer when booking an appointment. The rule is that the appointment must be within 30 days or it is not classed as an appointment. This works fine except the users can change the date on there...
