This is going to be a dumb question for all you Access experts, but how do I insert a field that will automatically display the date that the record was created (not updated, but created)?

Thanks!
 
Date

Use a Date/Time Field and set the default value to: =Date()

Just to clarify... In the design view of the table, not the form. ;-)
 
If you want to see the date and time then simply use =Now() and store it on a field called RecordCreated or something similar.
