##### Examples

The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:

`Now`

Returns 4:45:18 if you begin printing your report at 4:45:18.

`Now`

Returns 17:14:33 if you begin printing your report at 17:14:33.

##### Comments

- The time format is determined by the settings in the International section of the Windows Control Panel.
- The CurrentTime function is identical to the Now function, which was included with previous version of the program. Now is provided for compatibility with reports created with earlier versions of the program. New reports should use the CurrentTime function.
