#include time_t now; struct tm *newtime; char todaysDate[128]; // get the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 time(&now); // get the current system date newtime = localtime(&now); todaysDate = asctime(newtime));

If using MFC,

COleDateTime dt = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();

Its very Simple. SYSTEMTIME systime; GetLocalTime ( &systime ); then systime.wDay is the Day systime.wMonth is the month and systime.wYear is the year. itn't it cool ? ;) Best Regards, Jijo. The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
