Challenge #86: Create a Macro that Generates Past Dates

This was good macro practice, also first time I've used the Detour tools.  I did not attempt the encryption part.  I'm assuming it's using the 'locked' function, but didn't try it.

I'm getting a weird error on Dates "" in my macro - but it runs on execution. This was my first usage of the Date tool and also had some issues with connecting it with Action. Curiously it seemed to work fine without it.
