How to hot key current date 2

[xwizardx]

Starting with a bound form containing a field named, [dtDateModified], I'd like the user to be able to set this field to the current date with a hot key sequence. Currently, the field opens with the last value that was set there and, to change the date, six keystrokes are necessary.

Failing that, is there some way to have the current date set into that field, even though it's bound and already set to something else?

Thanks,

From Keyboard shortcuts in help:
Ctrl+; = Today's date in Access
Ctrl+: = Time

Other possibilities include setting a Default Value and Autokeys.
