XP Pro - Creating a .bat file

Comment:
I have users which frequently access a database which autosaves the date/time in entries. I need to create a .bat file which when the user wants to acces the database from the desktop icon, will first run the regular XP date/time setup program and after that run the database .exe. The idea is force the user to check his system date and time prior to entering the database. If possible a detailed explanation of the 'how to' will be appreciated. Thanks
