"Sets" meaning assign the date to a variable or actually set the system date?

What language?

That code looks like VB or VBScript?

Thanks for trying but it still dont work.

The script is a host script.

Just save the lines in a file with the extension .vbs

and run it.

So it's vbscript and not vb :)

In that case I'm not certain on how to do it. I think it will probably involve the DateTime object still but the syntax will be different.
