Scott   let's be sure we're not comparing apples and oranges., There are several ways to default a field to a value.  I'm going to assume for now that you are using the FORM method, which means, IN THE FORM DESIGNER:   1. Right click on the dbedit control for that date field 2. Select Object properties 3. Click on the "Effects" tab at the top 4. In the box at the bottom under "default value", type:  .#DATE (note the period)   Compare the two controls: do they both fit the above description?   If they do, compare the definitions of the two columns in the DATABASE designer: see any differences?   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Sherer To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 3:29 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Forms problem Hi Everyone,   I�m using Rbase for Windows 7.1 patch 79.  In a form that was converted from Rbase 6.5++ I have a dbedit box with a default value of .#date .  When using the command �Enter using Formname� todays date is loaded into the field correctly.  Now I�ve added a new field to the table referenced by the same form with a date format.  I�ve defined in Rbase 7.1 a dbedit field with a default value of .#date.  In this field nothing shows up.  Is there a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?  Any ideas, please let me know.   Thanks very much,   Scott Sherer
