Time Statement
This standard VB statement sets the computer's time.
Syntax
Time[$] = expression
Returns
Not applicable
Usage
When Time (with the dollar sign, $) is used, expression must evaluate to a string of one of the following forms:
hh
Sets the time to hh hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds.
hh:mm
Sets the time to hh hours mm minutes and 0 seconds.
hh:mm:ss
Sets the time to hh hours mm minutes and ss seconds.
Time uses a 24-hour clock. Thus, 6:00 P.M. must be entered as 18:00:00.
If the dollar sign ($) is omitted, expression can be a string containing a valid date, or a variant of vartype 7 (date) or 8 (string).
If expression is not already a variant of vartype 7 (date), Time attempts to convert it to a valid time. It recognizes time separator characters defined in the International section of the Windows Control Panel. Time (without the $) accepts both 12- and 24-hour clocks.
Example
This example changes the time on the computer's clock.
Sub Button_Click
Dim newtime As String
Dim answer As String
On Error Resume Next
i:
newtime = "5:30"
answer = PM
If answer = "PM" or answer = "pm" then
newtime = newtime &"PM"
End If
Time = newtime
If Err <> 0 then
Err = 0
Goto i
End If
