I am trying to build a new database, my first in 2013. I want to stamp each record with a date of entry. I created a field called DateAdded and set the data type to date/time. I set the format to short date and told it never to use calendar picker. Then I tried to set the default value to the date the record is created. Using the Expression builder I inserted =Date(). Access gives me a dialog box saying there is some sort of syntax error in the code. I have tried: Date(), Date, =Date, =Now(), Now, Now(), and =Now. All produce the same error message. What do I do?
