Thanks Dana

This gives me a couple of options that I had not considered...as I'm
currently downloading from three websites, then probably no big deal to do a
fourth! The fourth download could then replace my current "system time" and
work around quite neatly.

The downloads from the site quoted, and AtomTime and worldtimeserver.com
(Atomic Clock) appear to allow for scheduled synchronisation of the PC clock
and it may be simplest to run this independently. I'll experiment at the
weekend.

Thanks again.

I use to have a vba code that updated the time off the web when desired.
However, for the life of me, I can't seem to find it. It's better to use
one of the the downloadable program that can do this directly. However,
there is at least one program that I knew of that allowed it to be called
from a running program. I can't remember, but see if this is the program
from NIST.

Look for the Windows version in the upper right of the screen. Check out
help for "Command Line" calls.

Two other programs to check on the web are AtomTime, and Atomic Clock.

HTH.
