GetSystemTime(LPSYSTIME)

Don't you have any kind of documentation? MSDN is a good starting point for SDK/MFC topics.

Thanks so much

I'll try www.msdn.com

Besides that, it should be available locally in your VC++ IDE - press F1 to see the local MSDN.

GetLocalTime ( ... ) isn't it a bit better?

Try this:

#include <time.h>

char CurrentTime[9];
char CurrentDate[9];

_strdate(CurrentDate);
_strtime(CurrentTime);
