Autofill date field when adding a record?

[ChrisHaynes]

Does anyone know how to autofill the date field with the current date when adding a new record?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Cheers.
Chris.

You could try =Date() in the control source of the text box.

Why not simply the DefaultValue set to:
=Date()

Hope This Helps, PH.
