Hello Leonardo,

What is your current system clock says. Please check. Cos it is working fine at my end.

Also just for your FYI from QV Help file.

today([timer_mode] )

Returns the current date from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following values:

0 Date at script run
1 Date at function call
2 Date when the document was opened

Default timer_mode is 2. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system every second and hence could slow down the system.

Thanks,

Following on from Ramon, the default for today(), which is today(0) is to return when the reload script was last run.

Whereas today(1) returns when the function was called.

the Today() function is described in the Help which is always a good source of information on all functions.
