Windows programmers have the Win32 Application Programming Interface (API)
at their disposal. The Win32 API offers the following function:
Private Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As
SYSTEMTIME)
which loads a SYSTEMTIME structure with the current system time; given in
UTC. The SYSTEMTIME structure is defined as:
Private Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer
wHour As Integer
wMinute As Integer
wSecond As Integer
wMilliseconds As Integer
End Type
This function and structure can be called/referenced from Visual Basic, C,
C++, Access, FoxPro, etc...I cannot offer suggestions for other platforms.
