I am experiencing an odd problem, In any database i create wether from scratch or editing the canned databases like "Time and billing" that come with access the "=Date()" and "=Time()" default value function fine. However in a databse i have written for a security company i am working for i keep receiving the "#name?" error when i try to use this function. The MDB file is on a NT network share but i have copied it locally to try it as well and it still doesnt function, I have also copied the "Msowcf.dll" file into the network share on a hunch, and that didnt help. The database was written in access 97 originally and converted over and everything else works fine, Any suggestions would be VERY VERY appreciated im beating my head on a wall here
