    <p>I have seen questions of these sorts listed on the site, and I've tried to work through them but haven't been successful.</p> <p>What I want to do is make .bat file that creates a file (probably just a txt file, but doesn't matter) which has the Date and Time in the name.</p> <p>I can use something like "TYPE File1.txt>"File2 - %DATE% - %TIME%".txt" to make the file (and without the date/time it works fine, and in fact if I change the regional settings to use - or . instead of /and: it works fine, but having the time on the PC with : is really annoying).</p> <p>So I've tried the following which I got from other questions / the internet, and a few other things, but they don't seem to change the format for the date/time</p> <pre><code>M:\&gt;FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS= " %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET CDATE=%%B %%A was unexpected at this time. M:\&gt;FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS= " %A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET CDATE=%%B M:\&gt;SET CDATE=%20/03/2012 M:\&gt;FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 eol=/ DELIMS=/ " %A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET mm=%%B M:\&gt;SET mm=%20 M:\&gt;FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=/ eol=/" %A IN ('echo %CDATE%') DO SET dd=%%B M:\&gt;SET dd=%03 M:\&gt;FOR /F "TOKENS=2,3 DELIMS=/ " %A IN ('echo %CDATE%') DO SET yyyy=%%B M:\&gt;SET yyyy=%2012 M:\&gt;SET date=%mm%%dd%%yyyy% M:\&gt;date/t Tue 20/03/2012 M:\&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you can see, it's not working for me, even when I just call on the date I can see it's wrong...</p> <p>How can I get this working?</p> <p>(To be clear, the end product I want is a shortcut that if clicked at 8:13am on March 20 would makes a file "20120320 0813.txt". Or something very close)</p> <p>(FYI I'm on a corporate PC running XP)</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>

    1. COWell, I've gotten around this problem by adding a regedit to the batch. I just change the regional settings via a regedit to something other than slash/colon, create the file, then regedit it back to what it usually is...not the best solution, since if I ever change a regional setting in the future, this command will change it back (unless I remember to change it in the reg file). Now I just have to add a few second pause after the first edit (I think it's too quick at the moment), but that should be easy...

    2. COOkay, never mind that didn't seem to work out after all. The time (%time%) would never display as anything but the usual with colons. But I finally found something that works for me:

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
