Populating a Date field

Featured Replies

I have a [Customer] file where I send emails out of and a [Emails Sent] file that keeps track of the emails sent each day. What I can't figure out is how to get the field "DateEmailed" in the [Emails Sent] file to populate. It is set up as a Date field and to auto enter Creation date. I need to keep track of these dates so I can pull up what emails were sent on any given day.

I could really use your help on this one!

Sounds like your creation date is not being filled in [Emails Sent]. Are you sure that the field is a date, that autoenter is creation date and that checked do not allow user to modify?

Hi Doug,

Yep, did all that but nothing happens. If I select "New Record" in the [Emails Sent] file the date populates. The problem has to be that it comes from the [Customer] file like a line item and for some reason I have to do something else with the "DateEmailed" field to make it triger.

If I send 10 emails from the [Customer] file it shows as 10 emails sent in the [Emails Sent] file it just will not set the date!

How does [Customer] create a new record in [Emails Sent]?

Hi guys,

Doug, after reading your post I realized what I was doing wrong. Thanks, that question gave me the answer better than anything.
