New record vs. old record
How do I get an auto date for new records on a form, but have previous
records refer back to the table for their date? I tried: Private Sub cboEnteredBy_AfterUpdate() If Me.NewRecord And Me.cboEnteredBy "" Then Me.txtEntryDate = Now() Else Me.txtEntryDate = "" End If End Sub in this event + the Form_Current, but it erased the dates of the previous record's txtEntryDates. Can anyone help? Thanks!!! -- GD

Uhmmm?
Your "Else" statement tells Access to erase any value in the txtEntryDate field if it isn't a new record? -- Regards Jeff Boyce www.InformationFutures.net Microsoft Office/Access MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Microsoft IT Academy Program Mentor http://microsoftitacademy.com/ "GD" wrote in message ...
