first opened

i made a date field but i want to make a script that auto enters unmodifiable date which will be created at the first time opening of my database

You need to use a one-record preference (or some call it global) table with a date field when the file opens. Then create a script called Startup with:

Go To Layout [ Preference ]

Set Field [ field ; Get ( CurrentDate ) ]

... then whatever else you wish

Set this in File > File Options > Perform Script and point to your Startup script. But it would help to understand the purpose here ... we may have other suggestions. :wink2:
