sueshe Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am trying to create a macro that will type out the current month end date in MMDDYY format. I found the posting on this site that had the example macro for this, but it will not work on mine for some reason. Don't know if I am doing it wrong, or what, I am such a beginner at this. Can someone please help me with this? I am just learning, so be gentle. I do not have PGM Function library. I have Macro Express 3.7. Thanks so much for your help!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the following generally works for me: 1. Go into Text Commands 2. Go into Date commands 3. Select the format you want and place it in a Variable 4. Enter a Text Type command where you want the date inserted and add the Variable from step 3 (ie <TEXTTYPE:<SPACE>(jr %T25%)> Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueshe Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thank you for your reply.....but won't this just give me the current date? I need the current months end date, for instance, this month it would be 013108, next month would be 022908, etc. quote name='James' date='Jan 25 2008, 11:50 AM' post='10019'] Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the following generally works for me: 1.
