I'm using an Access MDB as a front end to a SQL 7 database. When I place the
system time in a field in Access, it used the user's clock. I'd like to use
the SQL Server system time, so that the times will be synchronized. I
suppose I can just do a pass-through query with "select getdate()." But I
was wondering if there was some built-in method, either in Access or SQL
Server. I'm concerned about the overhead of running a pass-through query
every time I need the current time.

Thanks.
