Examples: DateTimeValue property

This script uses the DateTimeValue property to place the value of the DateComposed item in a document into a NotesDateTime object. For example, if the DateComposed item contains the value 03/20/96, then the dateTime object represents the date March 20, 1996.
```
Dim item As NotesItem
Dim dateTime As NotesDateTime
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem( "DateComposed" )
Set dateTime = item.DateTimeValue
```

This script sets the value of the DateApproved item in a document to today's date. For example, if today is January 17, 1996 it sets the DateApproved item to 01/17/96.

Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem
Dim dateTime As NotesDateTime
'...set value of doc...
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem( "DateApproved" )
Set dateTime = New NotesDateTime( "Today" )
Set item.DateTimeValue = dateTime
Call doc.Save( False, True )
