Ignorant

Sorry for ignorance but I don't seem to be
able to find a way to retrieve Universal Time (GMT),
and of course I don't mean by +/- my zone time. to
the clock's local time .

Any help will be appreciated

time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov
time-b.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov
time-c.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov

There is a method of capturing "true" UTC from your
system clock via VB. I've seen code on :

www.planetsourcecode.com

Take a look.
