having the date of the day appear in a form when it's opened

[Ju]

I'd like to have the date of the day to be automatically inserted in a form when I open it. <br>For now I have inserted in the defaulf value of it: date(),<br>but it doesn't &quot;refresh&quot; the date when I open the form.<br>I thought about a place in the &quot;before update&quot;, but my poor skills in manipulating the VBA code aren't enough.<br><br>Thanks for your help.

What do you mean, it doesn't refresh the date?&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you see when you reopen the form?

I see the date that appeared before.<br>For example<br>&nbsp;I have nothing ---&gt; firstly when I open the form there is nothing.<br>the i &quot;pass&quot; on the field (backspace) and ther appears the date.<br>What I want is not having to pass on the field to have the date of the day.<br><br>Thank you.

try out the =now() in the default value<br>then set the input mask for the format of the date you want to show.<br>C. Hoole<br><A HREF="mailto:video32a@earthlink.net">video32a@earthlink.net</A><br><br>
