Examples
This example uses the Today property to return the current system date.
Dim thisDate As Date
thisDate = Today
Remarks
The Date data type includes time components. When returning the system date, Today sets all of these to 0, so the returned value represents midnight (00:00:00). When setting the system date, Today ignores the time components.
To access the current system date as a String, use the DateString property.
To get or set the current system time, use the TimeOfDay property.
Important
Setting the system date or time requires unmanaged code permission, which might affect its execution in partial-trust situations. For more information, see SecurityPermission and Code Access Permissions.
