I am developing a VB program and I wanted to control execution of the program using a datescope or up-to-a-certain-date provision. Eg. Oct 1 to Oct 30, or up to Oct 30). We know that it is easy to workaround this by just changing the date before runnnig the program. Is there any way for VB to get the actual date other than the system date? If none, how can I address this problem? Thanks in advance.
