I can't believe others did not point out the standard for doing this (SNTP -
RFC 868)
Either run a third party SNTP app that keeps all of you machines (including
your server if it has a net connection) synch'd or drop in a SNTP component
to your app.

> Hi all,

> I'm currently developing a time recording app to be used in

> environment, the DB resides in a central server with several
> workstations
> connect to it. The workers record their activities via the
> workstations.
> Some of the job items are budgeted and budgeted time can be
> as less as 5
> minutes, therefore the accuracy of time records are significant.
>
> Because the time settings are usually vary from wkstation to
> wkstation, so
> if someone started a job item from one machine and then claim it from
> another, the duration (the different between timestamp value) won't be
> accurate.
>
> I think the solution would be to use the server time for all.
> Could anyone
> help me on how to get timestamp from server? or any other suggestions?

> Thanks
