auto date Field?

[JHalcrow]

I am an extreme newbie to Microsoft Access and I've created a basic form for entering data about employees for a future review process. I have a Date field which I would like Todays Date (the date the form is filled out) to appear, however I cannot get it to work. I am not sure where to put Date( ) or todays date in order for it to automatically appear when a new record is started.

Thank you to anyone who can help me out with this...

Place:

=Date()

in the DefaultValue property for the control.

Also, you may want to look up the 'Format' function in Help if you want to change the way the date is displayed.
