Some of our customers are checking their computers for Y2K compliance. Some of their computers pass the BIOS test but not the RTC (real time clock) test. They are asking us if OI uses the BIOS or RTC to determine the date when the date() function is used. Does anyone know?

The Date() function calls a Microsoft function called Localtime().  I took a look at Microsft's site and LocalTime() uses the . However, I do not know how that graps the date.

<QUOTE>Jeff,



From MSVC 1.52C help file for the C runtime library:  This value (localtime) is usually obtained from the time function.



The time function states:  The time function returns the number of seconds elapsed since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, Universal Coordinated Time, according to the system clock.



For any more details, you would have to contact Microsoft.
