Hello everyone

I am trying to set up a button in my form (access) that will autofill the datefield with todays date and appear in the format dd/mm/yyyy. I've attempted a macro to do this but it only works after i ve right clicked in the date box and gone to properties then closed it. I've absolutely no idea why, in the 'set value' section i've used the code;

Format(Date(),"dd/mm/yyyy")

Does anyone have any tips as to where I'm going worong, I'd be very grateful

cheers
