Auto Dates on Access XP

[mungoblack]

I have a database in Access XP. It is basically a call log system. I have a field on the form which i want to automatically put the current date in for me. If i enter in the field =date() it just puts todays date in the form but for every record. Is there another expression i can use which means the date is saved into each record automatically?

Thanks

In table design view:

for the date field, put =Date() in the Default Value option.
