A date used to set the current system date

Description

The Today property gets or sets the current system date. The first syntax returns a Date representing the current system date, with the time set to midnight. The second syntax sets the current system date using a Date; any time component of that value is ignored.

Usage at a Glance

• Older versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 95, limit the system date to between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 2099.

• The security settings of the active user may prevent the system date and time from being altered.
