Due to UAC under Vista, I am encountering an error (Access Denied)
when trying to set the system time from my Access application. How do
I prompt for the necessary privilege elevation to allow me to modify
the system time? Thank you for your assistance.

However I don't see such an API call at vbnet.mvps.org.

The following code synchronizes the date and time but by removing one line it will
just read the server date and time.
