How do I enter a Default date of Today in a text Form Field
I am creating a form template and want to have Today() as the default date
for the Date field, without using a macro. I tried {today()} or the {DATE \@ "yyyy-mm-dd"} or {TODAY \@ "YYYY-MM-DD"}, but it always prompts for a valid date when closing the dialog. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks gurus.... |

Have you tried using Insert | Date? If you check the Automatically update
box, then it inserts it as a field. FYI...the format I always see it { DATE \@ "yyyy-MM-dd" }, perhaps the case of the letters is important.
