    How to place a text default value on date/time field

    Hi,

    I have a simple project to work on and I need some help.

    In a field for date/time, I want to have a default value of No Shipment Date, this text for a date/time field.

    I appreciate your help

    Thanks,

    Can't have text in a Date/Time field. Date/Time field is really storing a number. If there is no date then leave the field Null.
