i dont think you can compare dates using batch file.
better use C/C++ or vb.

convert date to string ?
like 11/03/2009 to 11032009?
then compare it with 11012009?
isit possible ? how to convert it ?

i just want this .bat file to run in startup and check for the date of each of my computer.
if the date is not bigger than lets say nov of 2009, the .bat file will pause there.
else it will exit.

you could try writting in vbs instead, and call the vbs from your bat file.

vbs have greater support for date comparison

Old school batch programming. Things were not as easy and GUI friendly as OO. rolleyes.gif

CODE
@echo off
if %DATE:~10,4%%DATE:~4,2%%DATE:~7,2% LSS 20091104 goto else
echo "bigger"
goto endif
:else
echo "smaller"
:endif
