Simple Time Sheet:

[jrtox]

Hello guys,
I made a simple Computerized Time Sheet in our Office and its not 100% working because i used the system clock. the user can edit/change the system time and date if he/she knows that he/she is late.

Is there any ways to Disabled the System clock in VB6.?


please help me with this one.

Is there any way to Disabled the System clock in VB6?

To put it simply, "no". I believe it is possible, through Group Policies, to prevent the user from setting the system clock. But that's a major topic, to be addressed by network administrators, not something you'd throw in to stop people fiddling the time in your program.

Perhaps you could take a different approach. For instance, create a little program which starts up when Windows starts. It keeps checking the current time, and if the time goes backward, it sounds the alert.

Here's a little sample to show the sort of thing I mean. Use it carefully, it's REALLY annoying.

Excellent!

The program isn't very useful in itself, of course. I just hoped it would help produce some ideas so you could move forward.

Maybe it isnt very useful because its only a sample but still, it gives to me an idea to go beyond.

Um... what do you mean by "call the system clock"? If you want the current date/time, use the Now() function (you can leave off the parentheses if you like). To just get the seconds since midnight, use Timer().

Nope its not what i mean,

Call Shell("C:\WINDO WS\system32\cal c.exe", vbMaximizedFocu s)

Um... you mean the time/date display from the notification area of the task bar? I have no idea whether there is one. Perhaps it's part of Systray.exe. I doubt you can call it.

Why do you want to?

Oh, ok. If you do find out, please let us know.
