What is the function for the current date function (excuse my ignorance - only a beginner!!) Thanks!
 
The F1 files have some decent information on CurrentDate, but essentially, you simply refer to it as you would any date field.

e.g.

CurrentDate > Date(2000,12,25)

is as valid as

{Your.DatabaseField} > Date(2000,12,25)

Press F1 in Crystal Reports and type in CurrentDate for a more detailed looksee.

There is a function that returns the current date. Create a formula field and either type CurrentDate or go into the formula tree in the Edit area and double click it. I believe you can also format it with format functions from the same tree. Best of luck with Crystal.
