Q: How do you change the system date in Delphi 3?

A: You can get and set system date/time using GetSystemTime and SetSystemTime from Win32 library. 

(*
  System time is represented with the following structure:
  TSystemTime = record
    wYear: Word;
    wMonth: Word;
    wDayOfWeek: Word;
    wDay: Word;
    wHour: Word;
    wMinute: Word;
    wSecond: Word;
    wMilliseconds: Word;
  end;
*)
uses
  Windows, Dialogs, Forms;

var
  MyTime : TSystemTime;
begin
  FillChar (MyTime, sizeof(MyTime), #0);
  MyTime.wYear := 1998;
  MyTime.wMonth := 12;
  MyTime.wDay := 24;
  // fill out more.. important!
  if not SetSystemTime (MyTime) then
    ShowMessage ('Failure!');
end.
