How do you make an unbound calendar control default to current dat

[DataGeek]

I can't get an unbound calendar control to default to the current date. I've
tried using calendar.value = DATE in the "on open" and "on load" and it does
nothing. I've tried all the permutations I can think of: calendar.value,
me.calendar.value, forms!form!calendar.value and DATE, Today, Now.

I'm working with a 2000 database with Access 2003. I'm using the calendars
to set a starting and ending date for a series of reports and that part works
just fine. I just want both calendars to show the current date to start with
and can't seem to get that part done. It's driving me crazy!

Also, I've tried me.calendar.today and me.calendar.date, etc. etc. etc. <sigh>
HELP!

Looks like you forgot the (), place =Date() into the
Default Value parameter

I can't get an unbound calendar control to default to the current date. I've
tried using calendar.value = DATE in the "on open" and "on load" and it does

just fine. I just want both calendars to show the current date to start with

Thanks!
What actually finally worked was Me.Calendar1.Today
But it wouldn't work "on open" nor did it work "on load" until I placed all
my "on open" commands into the "on load" with it - then it worked.
Go figure...
