I am creating a form and I would like the current date (the day the
user works on the form) to be the default, but I need the user to have
the option to type over that date if necessary.

I am sure this is a simple option, but I can't seem to find the right
way to insert the current date as the date field default option.

Please help!

Thanks

Place the following macro in the template for your form
(http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm) and change the form name
in quotes to the name of the actual field in your template.

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("DateField").Result = CStr(Now)
End Sub
