How to automatically input date to an application using macro (newbie)

[BadJoker]

So I want to create a macro that when I click the desired activation key, it will automatically fill in with the updated date. I was trying to use this codes

<DATE/TIME Format="mm/dd/yyyy" Flags="\xB3" Date="29/03/2017 10:13:13" Day_Offset="0" Month_Offset="0" Year_Offset="0" Hour_Offset="0" Minute_Offset="0" Second_Offset="0" Prompt="Enter the original date and time." Left="Center" Top="Center" Monitor="0" Variable="%dtDateTime%" IsDateVar="TRUE"/>

 however it just gives me a drop down box. What codes should I use. A little help please, a newbie here wanting to learn  . thanks

Here is my project

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<SHIFT>P<TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<SHIFT>P<TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<SHIFT>F<TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<SHIFT>F<SHIFT><ARROW DOWN><TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<SHIFT>P<TAB>"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/>  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this should be the month

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this should be the day for the next day

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/> =================== this should be the year

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="9999999999"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this should be the month

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this should be the date today

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<00>"/> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this should be the year

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<TAB>"/>

<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<TAB>"/>

<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="0.05"/>

wrong information

What is an activation key?

[Cory]

Your code is a single command to create the DateTime variable. Don't you want to do something with it? Maybe type it out with the TextType command?

[Cory]

Also you can have the DateTime command type out the date. Under the Options tab one can choose the method. 

[BadJoker]

so the codes I made is to fill in the boxes. However on the Date part it is kinda hard to fill in with the date for tomorrow then on the next boxes for the date today.

[BadJoker]

I want to create codes to fill the boxes like this

[Cory]

As I said. Simply use the Date/Time command. You need separate commands for the date parts. So if I was going to fill the month for today, I would choose the option "Set it to the current Date/time on the Date/Time tab, then choose Type the date/time stamp out in the Operation tab using the format "mm". This will type "12". If I set the format to "d" it types "6". If you want "06" then use "dd".
