To change the date or time, here are a couple of topics:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3413
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2773

And here's a script by Garry to change the time:
Code:
InputBox,TIME,Send Time to DOS,HH:MM
if ErrorLevel <> 0
    ExitApp
Run %COMSPEC% /C time %TIME%,,hide
ExitApp

Two options:
a) you don't read the help
b) you don't read the answers/posts to your request

but it is not working
Of course.
Two errors:

a)
wrong: my_var = A_NOW
correct: my_var = %A_NOW%
also correct: my_var := A_NOW
b)
DOS's date command expects an date input which is different to the datestamp format which is delivered via AHK's A_Now var. Check the help for further details.

AHK's FormatTime does exactly what's expected, it takes AHK's date format and converts/shrinks it the way you need it.

RTFM.

I run this simple script:
"FormatTime, TheDate,, ShortDate
Run %COMSPEC% /C date %TheDate%,,hide "

What happen is that every time I activate it , it cause excahnge of day and month:
first run : the result is that the date in the computer became 10/07/2005
second run:the result is that the date became 07/10/2005
third time: the result is that the date became 10/07/2005
and so on..
what is the problem? why it does not keep the same date?

What are your OS's default regional settings regarding date/time?
a) DD/MM/YYYY
b) MM/DD/YYYY
