Date

[Frank Albright]

I need to insert the current date in an email when the email is run. What is the method that will do that? Thanks.

The simplest thing would be to create a Date object and use its toString method. The output would look like:
Wed Apr 12 10:50:50 MDT 2000
If you don't want all this or want it to look differently you can use the Date in conjuction with SimpleDateFormat or use the Calendar class.

It actually needs to look like:
April 12, 2000
How would I get this?

Use the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.
The API documents have an example using this API to do exactly what you wish to do. Go to http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/index.html and look for the SimpleDateFormat class.
