Checking for the time

[BottleWasher]

How can I check the time on another computer that is networked to the computer running the VB application?

Thanks -

Hi,

There's probably a cleverer way of doing it, but you could always create an empty file on the networked machine and then see what the date and time of the file is, it will be the date and time of the computer.

I appreciate your response. I guess I should have been more specific in my environment -- there are about 20 computers (and in the near future there will be more) running this application. So, creating the empty file would work if there was one computer running the app, but with multiple computers I forsee problems.

im not sure if this will work but you could try:-

NetRemoteTOD (Netapi32.dll)

good luck
