You'll want to use a combination of aqDateTime and aqConvert objects.  So, the following function will write to the log today's date minus 5 days...





function tada()

{

    var TodaysDate = aqDateTime.Now()

    var FiveDaysAgo = aqDateTime.AddDays(TodaysDate, -5)

    var FormattedDate = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(FiveDaysAgo, "%m%d%Y")

    Log.Message(FormattedDate)

}




You'll need to adapt it for VBScript but this should demonstrate how to use those two object.
