Hi,&nbsp;

I have a vbscript in the run script action that return the date + 1 stored in a variable.&nbsp; However, I can not see the returned value in the variable (which is in my project variable) through finalbuilder.

Can anyone tell me how its done?&nbsp;

Thanks

here is my vbscript statement in the run script action

d\_date= Date  
d\_added=DateAdd("d",1,Date)

basically, I need d\_added.

FinalBuilder 6 doesn’t know how to use date variables in text fields, so you need to set the finalbuilder variable in script like this :   
  
 FBVariables.MYDATE = FBFormatDateTime(“dd/MM/yyyy”,d\_added)   
  
 then MYDATE can be used as a string in FB.   
  
 Also, you might like to take a look at the GetDateTime action, it can do the same thing - much simpler than scripting
