set default date

[Lin Light]

I have a table with items (books) that we haven't recieved yet.
I have a field called Received Date in that table.
I have created a form where we will call up each title individually by ISBN.
I want to have todays date to automatically populate the "Received Date"
field when we click in that box on the form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Set the DefaultValue for the field in the table to =Date()

Include the equal sign and parentheses.
