Simple Variable Question

Post by ADP_MAN » Tue Apr 18, 2006 6:41 pm

Hi All,

If I need to get a macro to print todays date I can use:

GetDate>theDate
Send Character/Text>%theDate%

How can I print out yesterday's date? Can you subtract 1 from a variable?
Sorry for the basic question, but I'm a bit stumped. :shock:

Thanks in advance.
