Hi.
Is there a way to have a feild automatically filled upon entry? I have a
felid "Date"
Don't use Reserved words to name identifiers (fields, tables, queries,
forms, variables, et cetera). Date is a Reserved word because it's a VBA
function that will apply the present date to a value if you aren't careful.
(In other words, it could overwrite a previously saved date with today's
date, so you'll never know what the original date was.) I suggest that you
rename your field to something more descriptive, like InvoiceDate.
I would like to auto fill with current date/time when the
form is opened.
In your form's OnOpen( ) event, try:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me!txtInvoiceDate.Value = Now()
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Error in Form_Open( ) in" & vbCrLf & _
Me.Name & " form." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear
End Sub
.. . . where txtInvoiceDate is the name of the text box displaying today's
date.
HTH.
