Dennis,
Completely stand alone?
Is it networked with access to a SQL database? then you can call
select getdate()
and find the current time from the database server.
Connected to the internet? There's probably a few webservices/pages that'll return you the current time.
You might be able to find a clock card that can be put into the system and query it to read the current time instead of using the O/S current time.
