I get the point, and I already thought about this possibility. Since cheating isn't my problem right now, I do this at startup only. If it becomes important to avoid the users falsifying the date or time on purpose, I will change this.
I have an audit trail, and it will be quite obvious if one user saves data on Friday, and
after that another user saves data from the previous Wednesday. Cheating could thus be tracked.
A false date was the problem I had, but not because of cheating. The computer clock sometimes goes awry all by itself.
