Syntax

Date = date

For systems running Microsoft Windows 95, the required date specification must be a date from January 1, 1980, through December 31, 2099. For systems running Microsoft Windows NT, date must be a date from January 1, 1980, through December 31, 2079. For the Macintosh, date must be a date from January 1, 1904, through February 5, 2040.

Example

This example uses the Date statement to set the computer system date. In the development environment, the date literal is displayed in short date format by using the locale settings of your code.

Dim MyDate 
MyDate = #February 12, 1985# ' Assign a date. 
Date= MyDate ' Change system date.
