ReadOnly Public Property Now() As DateTime

Remarks

To set the system date, use the Today property. To set the system time, use the TimeOfDay property.

Example

This example uses the Now property to return the current system date and time.

Dim ThisMoment As Date
ThisMoment= Now   ' Assign current system date and time.

Requirements

Because Now is a member of a module, rather than of a class, you do not need to create an object on which to access Now.
