Hi

First of all - Merry Christmas to all of you.

I have a program that will "only" be used once or twice each month.

PC clocks are reliable but not exact – so I need an object that can update the PC clock so that the data logged will in “real” time.
Maybe even with the local offset to GMT.

Regards

I'm not sure what do you mean by the PC time is not exact.

The time on your PC is sync with online servers that you can change in your PC.
It sync once a while, then it start using internal clock to count the clock. As far as I know, it's pretty accurate.

Also, I never had to change the PC time using VEE, I'm not sure if VEE supports that.

Hi Woozie

Yes
"
It sync once a while
"
"and never when you need it....

So if I from my Vee program could make sure that the sync will take place - then I'm up-to-date.......

Any one that knows the inside of Windows can click on the clock and and force it to do a sync,
but for some of my users just installing Vee runtime is a very big task.

Hmmm.... I'm not sure how to approach this problem, never done it myself.

I think it can be done with DotNet/DotNetControl, or one of those add-on that uses C commands.

Other than that, if you can find a little program that would sync your computer time, you can install that program and use VEE to execute that program to sync the time everytime it needs to be sync.

Sorry, not being a good help.
