Determine whether system date is correct

30 New Member
Could anyone say how to tell whether the system date running is correct or wrong?

It may be either using the reg/bios/any other way.

Using VB 6.

Thanks

You'd have to use the internet and check against a time server.

There's no way within the PC to tell whether the current date/time is correct or not.

John Bentley: INTRO The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10 numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this post I shall only use either...

Hi, Is there anything in the ANSI C standard covering the means by which I can determine the operating system and compiler being used (at the preprocess stage) ? If so, then how might I determine (at the preprocess stage) whether the operating system upon which the app is being built is Win32 or not, and whether the compiler being used is gcc or not ?

What is the correct way to determine when your app is running on my development machine and when it is running on the live server?

Hello experts, I write a function named palindrome to determine if a character string is palindromic, and test it with some example strings. Is it suitable to add it to a company/project library as a small tool function according to its quality? I will be very happy to get your suggestion from every aspect on it: interface design, C language knowledge or algorithm efficient. Sincerely,

Greetings Access Gurus! I am working on an app to send batch transactions to our bank, and the bank requires that we place an effective date on our files that is 'one business day in the future, excluding holidays and weekends.'

I did find an...

Is there a method of determining which format the short date format is stored in for the current user on the machine using .NET? If it is not in UK format I ideally need to be able to set it to UK format as well. I'm building an installation tool, and the software which I am installing will only work if the regional settings are correct.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
