Current Date

I have created a very basic form - Date, name, amount,
etc. but I need the date field to populate with the
current date. Is there an easy way to do this?

I am using Outlook 2000 (SP3) and Exchange 2000

Thank you in advance

You'll have to tell us more -- do you want the field to always show the
current date? Or do you want it to stamp the date only when the user creates
a new item and leave it unchanged after that? IF the latter, what's the name
of the field where you want to store the date?

In the Item Open event, set the value of the control to Now().
