It would appear that you can either use a Date type of Text Form Field, in
which fillin is enabled, or a Current Date field, which inserts a DATE
field, which can't be changed.

I am trying to do something similar...I think. I am creating a
form/template
and would like the "Date" field to default to the current date, BUT I
would
also like users to be able change that date if they need to. Everything
I've
tried seems to put the current date in there, but locks the field from
changes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Alt+F9 indicates that this inserts 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
