Use the built in aq date time utilities to generate the month at the start of the test and build your comparison from that.

      For example some element should store the current date in format %d.%m.%Y.

       

      So you need to create the checkpoint for the element's property (e.g. Text) and use Code Expression instead of hardcoded value (or you can use the variable as cunderw suggested).

       

      aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Today(), "%d.%m.%Y")

        believe I am close. Please see attached for tsep by step process. Basically I am trying to:

         

        1) get current date

        2) store in a variable

        3) replace hard-code month (ie Nov) in my property checkpoint

        4) then compare web page oject month to variable

        5) when I execute getting erro message on attached

        6) also, how can I display the values or a variable in my key word test? I have read several SB articles but can't get it to work.

         

        Thanks Bruce
