QUESTION POSED ON: 18 April 2008
I've created several helpful email-forwarding scripts, but I want to tweak one. I'd like to test date and time handling by having email forward only between certain times and dates. Is there a simple way to do this?

>
You can LotusScript similar to the following:
Dim RightNow as new NotesDateTime("Now")
Dim StartTime as new NotesDateTime
("01/01/2001 08:00:00 AM")
StartTime.SetAnyDate=true;
Dim EndTime as new NotesDateTime
("01/01/2001 05:00:00 PM")
EndTime.SetAnyDate=true;

If RightNow>StartTime and 
RifghtNow<EndTime then
   ' send mail
End if

For more information on using the LotusScript DateTime class, consult the Domino Designer help.
