How to get TIME() from server

[vfp7guy]

Probably a simple answer to this one, but it is eluding me.
Because the workstations on our network will typically be off a few minutes in synchronizing their clocks, I need to get the TIME() from the Win2000 server.
Is there an easy way to do this?

TIA ... Roy

I forgot one thing ... actually looking for DateTime() format. Also ... I'm using VFP8 and VFP9.

Thanks for the references Rambler; I may end up using some of the code. I was hoping to just get the network datetime() without actually resynchronizing the local station to the server, but one of these refs has given me a simple idea to test.
