Now
Gets the current system time as a Date Serial
#include "vbcompat.bi"
result = Now
Returns a date serial containing the system's date and time at execution time.
As the time is the decimal part of a date serial, if the value of Now is saved to an integer, the time in it will be reset to 00:00:00
The compiler will not recognize this function unless vbcompat.bi is included.
