Alt+F9 indicates that this indicates a DATE field, which presumably will
update. Instead of inserting a form field, use the CREATEDATE field
(assuming you are creating the form as a template).

Hi y'all. I'm using Win XP/Office 03 on a Novell 6.x network.
Can someone tell me for sure whether or not the 'Current Date' property
type
of a text field, inserted simply from the Forms toolbar will actually
insert
the current date as a STAMP and NOT update that value the next time the
form/template is opened? Or do I need to substitute the actual code to
make
it do that? I think I have the correct code, but it couldn't hurt to offer
it up. ;-)
Thanks,
-Monica
