Date on a form

[Wlbyfred]

I am new at access, I have been able to have a date and time on my form header and even in my form, but the date in my form is always todays date and not the date the form was created....any ideas where to look

Why is the creation date of form important? Do you really mean the creation date of a record? Did you save the 'creation' date in a field in table?

[Wlbyfred]

Yes
Wrong term here...the creation date of the record and there is a field in the table

You have textbox ControlSource set to the field? What is the field name? Date is a reserved word and should not use reserved words as names.
