different values displayed for a varible

Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:57:38 GMT

Let vToday = Date(Today(), 'M/D/YYYY')

above is defined in the document script.

however vToday display 01/23/15, Date(Today(), 'M/D/YYYY') shows 2/10/15

why they're showing difference?

thanks

run your script again. what is displayed with vToday?? should be 2/10/15

Is this run on a server that is not in sync with the current date?

Both show 2/10/15 for me. Can you reload it once?

If you want the date to continually update use:

Set vToday = =Date(Today(), 'M/D/YYYY')

otherwise it will only show the date of when you last reloaded the script.
