[AccessD] A2K: This should be easy

Ooops, you're right, Now() doesn't do that.  I found this out 2 years ago,
when I wrote an Atomic Clock service in VB.  I was just about to look for an
API to set the date and time, when I thought 'Hmmm....I wonder if...', and
sure enough it worked! <grin>

That is scary! I didn't know that.
Why do you know such weird things?

But it is only Date() and Time() that works this way, not Now().
