Temporary Date Change

[mulletmandan]

I'm trying to set up a script to change the system date temporarily and then change it back. Here's what I've got:

$currentdate=@Mon & "/" & @MDay & "/" & @Year
MsgBox(4096,"Notify", $currentdate)
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'date 11/11/2003', "", @SW_HIDE)
MsgBox(4096,"Notify", "Date Changed")
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'date $currentdate', "", @SW_HIDE)
MsgBox(4096,"Notify", "Date Changed Back")
Exit

The date will change, but won't change back. I am guessing this has something to do with my variable in Line 5. Any help would be nice.

Thanks!

try:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'date ' & $currentdate, "", @SW_HIDE)

also IMO it would be better if you use runwait.

Sorry, I'm a bit new at this. Could you rewrite that script for me using runwait so I can see its usage?

Thanks!
