I am using a database to merge information into Word documents. These Word documents have dates that need to be dependent on the current date. I was able to make a field in my table for "today's date", but I need it to automatically update to today's date in my table each time I open the database, in order for the other dates to merge correctly. I have used "=Date()" for the default value for that field, but it only updates new records with the current date. How do I get the 1200 records to update with today's date automatically? Thanks so much for your help.
