What is the difference between that time and the time in Access?
The difference is that Access gets the local machine's (desktop) time, which can be easily manipulated by the user. I have a Sign In/Out application and I do not want users to be able to manipulate the sign in/out date/time.

I found an answer which states:
There was no further information, however. And I cannot provide any more as it isn't in my knowledge base! It may be a place to start.Environment variables are a very unreliable way to verify the user because they can easily be changed from the default by the user. Better to get the actual information:
LoginName = CreateObject("wscript.network").UserName
MachineName = CreateObject("wscript.network").ComputerName
Here is a long shot:

It's interesting that the IS/IT department has not locked the typical user out of the time clock app. That's a basic practice AFAIK.the local machine's (desktop) time, which can be easily manipulated by the user.
