Generally I just use something like AboutTime from 
http://www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/index.html

I normally run it as  a single machine which has permanent internet access 
such as a mail server and use net time on all the workstations to keep them 
in synch.

But if you really need to embed it in Access, download the code at  
http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=1594  It is a simple one form VB 
NTP client application.  You should just about be able to cut and paste the 
whole thing into an Access from.
