The Date data type includes time components. When returning the system date, Today sets all of these to 0, so the returned value represents midnight (00:00:00). When setting the system date, Today ignores the time components.
To access the current system date as a String, use the DateString property.
To get the current system time, use the TimeOfDay property.
