Rolling Date

[strate]

I'm not sure how to explain what I need help with, but I'll try to be as clear as possible.

Our third shift, here at work, records production on the following day.

Todays date is 04/05/05 so when they arrive tonight they will use 04/06/05.

Currently in my program they manually enter the date. I want to remove this so that the program does it for them.

I want it to roll the date thru the year and I can not figure out where to start.

It must only be applicable from 9pm to 11:59:59pm.

It needs to know if it is the last month of the year, so that it can enter the next year.

If its the last day of the month, so that the month can roll to the next along with the day.

Func Rolling_Date()
   $Month1 = @MON
   $Year = @YEAR
   $Days_In_Month = _DateDaysInMonth($Month1,$Year) 
   If @MDAY = $Days_In_Month Then 
      $Month = _DateNextMonthNum($Month1)

This is all I have. I'm having a problem thinking about how to do this. Any thoughts would be wonderful.

Take a look at the _DateAdd in the User Defined functions.

I'm using a older version. If you could copy that function from date.au3 that would be wonderful. I might be able to use it.

what version?

This "could" be useful for you too:

#include <Date.au3>

Global $M, $D, $Y
$sJulDate = _DateToDayValue (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY)
_DayValueToDate($sJulDate+1,$Y,$M,$D)
MsgBox(0,"",$M & "/" & $D & "/" & $Y)

or:

#include <date.au3>
$ScheduleDate = _NowCalcDate()
If @HOUR > 21 then $ScheduleDate = _DateAdd("d",1,_NowCalcDate())

Dumb question: Is it possible to install two different versions of autoit on the same PC, if so how? Both of the other two options have user defined functions not available in my version (autoit-v3.0.103.exe). If not or I would perfer the functions from date.au3 so that I can see how they work if possible.

Here ya go... _Now(Returns the current Date and Time in PC's format.) or _NowCalc(Returns the current Date and Time in format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS for use in date calculations) would probably work too.....

Maybe I'm silly, but why not upgrade to the latest version?

we rely strongly (used about every 3min per 48 hour period) on the the program, and I'm not sure how much I would need to change for it to work again, if it were to crash.
