Ok I am stuck. What I want to do sounds very simple but I think I a complicating it myself. All I want to do is get the current time and date from the internet and have it display in a MsgBox, I can not seem to figure out how to retrieve the information from on line. Example site " http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i2dkat1s/n104/tt1/tw0/tm2/td1 ". So like: $ip = http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i2dkat1s/n104/tt1/tw0/tm2/td1 $info = ; command to check or retrieve time and date from $ip
