Default Current Date on Form

Hi there

I have a Form with a "Date" Field on it. it is supposed to automattically
display the current date when the form opens. It is set to : =Now()
I have also tried =Date()

But it keeps saying #Name?

it worked last week, now all of a sudden it wont work?

Thank You

Melissa

Default Current Date on Form

You have a control on the form to show the current date? If so, is it bound
or unbound? If it is bound to a field, is the field type date?

Put =Now() as the control source of the box.
