Script to alter system date when starting VFP 8 Beta
I am waiting for our purchase dept to leap into action and buy VFP 8.00 as they have promised.
In the meantime we have been told by MS that we can turn the system date back in order to continue running the VFP 8.00 Beta. Once the Beta is running it is possible to set the system date back to what it should be.
Obviously what is needed is a script that does the following
1. writes the current date to an environment variable
2. Runs VFP 8 Beta
3. Pauses to make sure VFP is running
4. Sets the system date to the date that was stored in the environment variable
Has anyone done this yet. I tried briefly to do it in a batch file but could not manage to set the system date to set to the variable date.
This can probably be done easily in WSH but I do not have the time to mess about.
Does anyone have a script for me :)
