Getting a date to repeat itself in the same form

[robwhiting]

So, you ARE populating the date on data entry? BEFORE the delivery is made?
WHY is the date in the child table and not in the parent table if it is the same for all rows?

No, we are populating the entries possibly up to a week after they have been made and therefore we need to put the date of delivery, not the date of entry into the system.
Your possibly right about it being in the parent form.

If all the flyers are delivered on the same date, the deliverydate belongs in the parent record. That way you only update ONE data value.

I'm not sure how the default property is working for you when the records already exist. Your workflow is not at all clear. Are you creating the parent record and adding the flyers to be distributed BEFORE or AFTER delivery. My assumption was that you were creating the data BEFORE delivery so you could provide a summary to the driver and then AFTER delivery, you wanted to update the date the flyers were delivered.
