Auto Today's Date

[Giancarlo Migoni]

Hi, how can i show Today's Date when i open my FM file without entering a new record, something like current date and time from the computer.

Because i used Get ( CurrentDate )but if i changed the computer time two days after (feb 2nd), when i opened the file doesn0t change the date.

Thanks

Gian

Hi Gian,

Using Get ( CurrentDate ) and setting the calculation in the calc dialog box Storage Options to 'Do Not Store' will do the trick for you. It will then change every day. However, the time will NOT update every second but rather will update whenever the screen is refreshed.

Update: Oh, to include time, use Get ( CurrentTimeStamp ) or Get ( [color:red]CurrentHostTimeStamp ).
