present date in data field

[johnkl49]

I'm an old timer trying to teach myself access. I want to show the current date [=date()] on a form page and when the form is closed enter the date in a field of a record in a table. Everyday I want a new record to be created with the present date in it.

Add a textbox to your form and call it TxtToday.

Set the Enabled Property to False
Set the Locked property to True
Set theDefaultValue to =Date()

In you table go to the properties of the field that holds the date in question and select the Default value to =Date()

This will add todays date to every new record that is added in the table.
