Hi,

how about creating a new document in the users mail-database and reading its Created-Property.

The document itself can then be “thrown away”.

Thanks for your help. We’re using a very similar workaround but it’s a quick and dirty solution. It has quite a few drawbacks such as creating a document in a database, taking up some resources or changing the DB modification time.

Any idea for something cleaner ? I just can’t imagine there’s a simple, clean and efficient solution for getting as basic an information as a server time …

Thanks for the answer but I’m looking for a C API function, not a formula that works on all versions, not only R6 …
