Date Time - now()

I have recently added a new textbox control to an existing form already in
use. I have added the function now() to get the date/time. This works great
for any new forms created, but for existing forms the field remains blank.
How can I get the field to populate with the date/time on existing forms?

Hi,

Try this once.
1.Go to Tools->FormOoptions.
2. Add a rule that to set the new field value to present date using now().

Hope this helps.

Thank you, that did the trick. I actually did that first. Deleted a control
to simplify and forgot to update that. but that did. So here is another
related question.

Now I have this populating with the form open. is there a way to update
existing forms without having to open each one?
