    Date Default

    I have the Default Date set in the property sheet as 10/1/2014 but it shows up in the field as 12/30/1899. Do you know why this would be and how I can correct it?

    Never mind I entered it as =#10/1/2014# and it fixed it.

    FYI, the # tell Access you're giving it a date. Otherwise it assumes it's a number, 10 divided by 1 divided by 2014. which is a bit after midnight on that date.
