The last line does not save the date.
Can someone help?
I save date (after truncating the weekday)
Then Change Date
Finally, I want to reset date to original.

Thanks.

Cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\
set currentsysdate=%date:~-10%
Date = 02-02-11
Start /max /wait WINWORD.EXE
Set Date = CurrentSysDate

The command to change the system date is not date = ... and also not set date = .... It's simply date ....

Code: Select all

Cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12"
set "CurrentSysDate=%date:~-10%"
Date 02-02-11
Start /max /wait WINWORD.EXE
Date %CurrentSysDate%

On Win7 you have to run the batch as administrator, normal clients have no rights to change the system date.
