Default Automatic date

Thanks for the help! On a side note, why should I not work directly in my
tables? I am new at this, so I don't want to do anything that would create
issues down the road.

Thanks - janelgirl

Firstly, you should not ever be working directly in your tables, but rather
through a form.

Once you have a form setup you could add a current event to your form to
automatically update your control value.

Me.ControlName = Date()

Hope this helps,
