Default date

[Dr_Worm]

I have a main form (Form A) where all the information is to be entered. Then I press a button which opens up another form (Form B) that has additional information to that job. Within form B there is a date field that has a default value set to the current date which works if no information has been entered into form A. When I enter information into form A and then go to form B the default date value does not work and appears blank.

Have you tried setting vba code for Form Load.

Private Sub Form_Load()
txtbox1.value = now
End Sub


Or in the design view on form two, go to design view, right click on the text box that you want your default date in and type in = now This will give you the current date. If you want to customize it select input mask and choose the that meets your needs. Good Luck!
