Marc,
In MySql (I am using 4.1.9 and 4.1.15; so i am not sure about 5) it is
not possible to use functions as default values; you could create:
create table tester (f_date date default curdate()); But this doesn;t
work. You have to struggle through your knoda how to present the current
date. Be sure you have your field datatype set to DATE.
Create your form and set the datasource to the table having the
date-field. Create your textbox and assign the field to it.
Put the %NOWDATE% in the 'default value' field of your textbox. The
currentdate will be shown after you run the form.
Hope this little info helps you :-)
