I need help in fixing the below script (save it as .vbs)

This code adds a randomizer (4 digit alphanumeric value) to each email received on all mailbox based on a time and date.

Currently its adding the randomizier based on the date mentioned in the script but its ignoring the time part. Need to fix the time part here
Code:
On Error Resume Next


Arr_MailBox = Array("Ideation")
Arr_Folder = Array("Inbox")
For x = 0 To 0


SharedMailBox = Arr_MailBox(x)


SharedMailBox_Folder = Arr_Folder(0)


    Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set olFldr = olNS.Folders(SharedMailBox)
    Set olFldr = olFldr.Folders(SharedMailBox_Folder)
Const VALID_TEXT = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890"




StartTime = "7/4/2018 4:02:01 PM"


EndTime = "7/4/2018 4:06:01 PM"


For Each olItem In olFldr.Items


	MailRecDate = DateValue(olItem.ReceivedTime)
	MailRecTime = TimeValue(olItem.ReceivedTime)


	If MailRecDate & " " & MailRecTime <= DateValue(EndTime) & " " & TimeValueValue(EndTime) And MailRecDate & " " & MailRecTime >= DateValue(StartTime) & " " & TimeValueValue(StartTime) Then
MsgBox "Done"		


For I = 0 To 4
        		Randomize
			sNewSearchTag = sNewSearchTag & Mid(VALID_TEXT,Round(Rnd * Len(VALID_TEXT)),1)
		Next
Set i = Null


Set vMailSubject = olItem.Subject


	If olItem.Subject = "" Then
    		olItem.Subject = "Blank" & " " & sNewSearchTag
    	Else
    		olItem.Subject = Left(olItem.Subject, 80) & " " & sNewSearchTag
    	End If
	olItem.Save
	sNewSearchTag = Null
	End If


Next

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Yuck. It's a bit messy but I've tried to clean it up. Note that you're definitely going to create a 5 character tag with this logic and you also run the risk of silent failures by turning off error checking.

Code:
Const VALID_TEXT = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890"

On Error Resume Next

Arr_MailBox = Array("Ideation")
Arr_Folder = Array("Inbox")

Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

For x = 0 To 0
    SharedMailBox = Arr_MailBox(x)
    SharedMailBox_Folder = Arr_Folder(0)

    Set olFldr = olNS.Folders(SharedMailBox)
    Set olFldr = olFldr.Folders(SharedMailBox_Folder)

    StartTime = DateSerial(2018, 7, 4) + TimeSerial(16, 2, 1)
    EndTime = DateSerial(2018, 7, 4) + TimeSerial(16, 6, 1)

    For Each olItem In olFldr.Items
        If olItem.ReceivedTime >= StartTime And olItem.ReceivedTime <= EndTime Then
            sNewSearchTag = ""
            For i = 0 To 4 ' This will create a 5 character search tag
                Randomize
                sNewSearchTag = sNewSearchTag & Mid(VALID_TEXT, Round(Rnd * Len(VALID_TEXT)) + 1, 1)
            Next i
    
            If olItem.Subject = "" Then
                olItem.Subject = "Blank " & sNewSearchTag
            Else
                olItem.Subject = Left(olItem.Subject, 80) & " " & sNewSearchTag
            End If
            olItem.Save
        End If
    Next olItem
Next x
