Get Todays Date

[Error7]

Does anybody know how I can read/download todays date from a reliable source using the webbrowser or iNet control.

I want to be sure that our main server always has the correct date.

There are several time services available. One of them is the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and you can find out more here

We are using SymmTime; pretty simple, straight forward, reliable and free:

Maybe you can pick it up from here:

// BEGIN - NIST DYNAMIC DATA /////////////////////////////


var NISTSendTime = new Date( "[blue]November 16, 2010[/blue] 13:16:06");
var QueryTimeZone = -6;
var QueryTimeZoneOffsetMin = -360
var QueryTimeZoneName = "Central";
var QueryDSTString = "Standard Time";

// END - NIST DYNAMIC DATA ////////////////////////////////////

Unless you are NOT in USA....

Have fun.

Current windows OS already has a internet time synchronizer. Maybe you just need to check the box.

Perhaps I should have mentioned we're running XP in UK
