Date

Returns a Variant (Date) containing the current system date.
Syntax: Date

Remarks
To set the system date, use the Date statement.
Date, and if the calendar is Gregorian, Date$ behavior is unchanged by the Calendar property setting. If the calendar is Hijri, Date$ returns a 10-character string of the form mm-dd-yyyy, where mm (01-12), dd (01-30) and yyyy (1400-1523) are the Hijri month, day and year. The equivalent Gregorian range is Jan 1, 1980 through Dec 31, 2099.

Example:

Time

Sets the system time.
Syntax: Time = time
The required time argument is any numeric expression, string expression, or any combination, that can represent a time.

Remarks
If time is a string, Time attempts to convert it to a time using the time separators you specified for your system. If it can't be converted to a valid time, an error occurs.

Example:

Now

Syntax: Now

Example:

Timer

Timers execute code repeatedly according to the Interval you specify. Set the Interval property in milliseconds. For example, 2000 = 2 seconds. Timers are useful for checking programs conditions periodically, but don't get in the habit of using them for everything. A Timer control is not a clock and should not be relied upon to keep accurate time.
