Field with today's date

[Robert Collins]

I require a field that always shows the current date - I have tried a field with an auto enter calculation of Get(CurrentDate) and set to always validate but this is not working.

Can anybody show me where I am going wrong.

many thanks

Auto-enter calcs don't reevaluate each day. Use a regular calculation instead, with the storage option set to 'Do not Store'. Or use a globally stored Date field, and have your login script set it to the current date.

Thanks I shall try that

Hi Robert, if you only need to show the current date for user reference you can use the text tool to display // anywhere on your layout which will show the current date.

If the date field is to be used in a calculation, etc. you can also use the Get(CurrentDate) directly in your calculation.

Cheers Peter :-)
