ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 OK, corrected the date in the subject line.There must be some mechanism to automatically insert today's date into a given location - I will do some research...Actually I have a tool here on my old Win2K machine that should do just that: 2010/08/10 (that's how it comes out). Interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 that date is backwardsEh? - that is the only correct way to write a date. (Or 2010-08-10, or 2010.08.10, or 20100810, of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I was taught from primary school 10-08-2010Looks like that was before computers were invented :lol: Actually, when I started to work with computers in 1970, we all thought that a computer date was like '700810' (YYMMDD). It took us thirty years to find out that a computer date must be '19700810' (YYYYMMDD)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
