Hello Emile
I was close to write that you are right … most of the time ;-)
This time, you are wrong !
As far as I know, the AppleScript language guide claims that:
hours and minutes, like days and weeks are NOT properties of a date BUT
are constants.
An AS date_time count a number of seconds since 01/01/1904 (If I
remember well)
the constant minutes is defined as 60 (seconds)
the constant hours is defined as (60 x minutes)
the constant days is defined as (24 x hours)
the constant weeks is defined as (7 x days)

set dd to "20/10/2005"
set myDate to date dd
--set myDate to date "20 octobre 2005 5:10:15"
(*
-- Change that date to March 2nd, 1954; 11:45:00
-- a. DD:MM:YYYY
set day of myDate to 2
set month of myDate to March
set year of myDate to 1954
set date1 to get myDate
*)
-- b. HH:MM:SS
set time of myDate to (11 * hours) + (45 * minutes) + 0
-- give me the newly computed date
return myDate

My fault, I had a different programming language in mind and remember
AppleScript hours, minutes, seconds --> bad code. AppleScript 1, Emile 0.
Nice way to set the time :)

Ho do you make the following working ?

The variable 'mydate' ends up with the value of the date created.
tell (current date) to set {day, year, its month, day, time, myDate} to
{1, 1968, May, 5, 20 * hours + 47 * minutes, it}
display dialog (myDate as string)
'Current date' returns a date record, which is then told to reset its
various properties and finally to set a variable to itself. Kinky, but legal.
This time, the script works fine here (don't know why it didn't work the first time.
Thanks all,
Emile
