Robert Collins Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyetti Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 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.
