Date picker

[SFC]

I have a form that has a text box and the data for the text box is =Date(). When I run the form there is a small date picker next to the text box, I click on it and a calendar appears, I choose a date on the calander that I want however, it always defaults back to the current date. Is there a way to keep any date chosen in the calander picker when running the form?

Yes, take out the =Date() part from the control source and bind it to a field instead. If you use =Date() as the control source then that is it and you can't change it.

You can use

=Date()

for the DEFAULT VALUE property so that it enters that when a new record is created but you can then go back and change it.

Thank you Bob,
That works just like I wanted, and thanks for the tip about the default value.
