Lotuscript code is changing the PCs system clock- how and why?

I have created this Agent to read an email and create an Appointment from it (it is in a mail-in database set to run when new documents arrive). While this seems to work at this point, it also causes my PC’s system clock to be updated to the same date and time that is in the email’s subject line (where the fields are being read from).

Sub Initialize

Dim Workspace As New NotesUiWorkspace

Dim UiView As NotesUiView

Dim session As NotesSession

Set session = New NotesSession

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set doc = session.DocumentContext

Dim array As Variant

array = Split(doc.GetFirstItem("Subject").Values(0), "~" )

'PersonToBeInterviewed~DateOfInterview~StartTimeOfInterview~LengthOfTime~NameOfRecruiter~NameOfInterviewer

Set UiView = Workspace.CurrentView

Dim Workspace1 As New NotesUiWorkspace

Call Workspace1.ComposeDocument( "", "", "Appointment" )

Dim Uidoc As NotesUiDocument

Set Uidoc = Workspace1.CurrentDocument

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("AppointmentType","3")

Call UiDoc.Refresh

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("Subject","Interview for: " & array(0) )

Call UiDoc.GotoField("StartDate")

Call UiDoc.SelectAll

Call UiDoc.Cut

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("StartDate",array(1))

Date$ = array(1)

Time$ = array(2)

Dim notesDateTime As New NotesDateTime( Date$ & " " & Time$ )

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("StartTime", notesDateTime.TimeOnly )

Call notesDateTime.AdjustHour( Val( array( 3 )) )

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("EndTime", notesDateTime.TimeOnly )

Dim s As Variant

s(1) = Array(5)

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("RequiredAttendees",s)

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("Principal",s)

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("Chair",s)

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("SendTo",s)

’ Call UiDoc.FieldSetText(“OptionalAttendees”,array(4))

Dim t As Variant

t(1) = "D"

t(2) = "S"

Call UiDoc.FieldSetText("ExcludeFromView", t )

Call UiDoc.Refresh

Call UiDoc.Save

Call UiDoc.Close	

Call UiView.Close

End Sub

Does anyone see where this is happening and how I can stop it? Is there an easier way to do what I am trying to do?

The problem lies in your choice of variable names.

Date$ = array(1)

Time$ = array(2)

Above variables are in fact LotusScript Statement used to set the system date and time (see Domino Designer Help for details).

Rename the variables (to something like aDate$ and aTime$) everywhere they are referenced, and your problem should be resolved.

Thank you. I knew I did something stupid, I just didn’t see it.
