copying and pasting the date into programs

Hi, I just started learning apple script about a week ago and my work wants
me to write an applescript that will copy the date into whatever program you
wish. I have enough of the script written that the Date is copied to the
clipboard, but I have been unable to get it to automatically paste into the
proper application. (I know they could just hit command-v but hitting 3
keys to get the date I guess is to much work)

I've tried to identify by ID and any other way I have read about, but I just
can't seem to figure out how to have it paste into the proper program when
the person has 12 apps open. I was hoping someone here could help.

Thanks,
Melissa
