DateTimeType Now; char TimeString[timeStringLength+1]; char DateString[dateStringLength+1]; SystemPReferecnesType SystemPrefs; PrefGetPreferences(&SystemPrefs); TimSecondsToDateTime(TimGetSeconds(),&Now); TimeToAscii(Now.hour,Now.minute,SystemPrefs.timeFormat,TimeString); DateToAscii(Now.month,Now.day,Now.year,SystemPRefs.dateFormat,DateString); Viola! -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
