Colleagues,

Is there a way to have a date field which populates itself with the
current date whenever the record is created or updated?

Thank you.

Rob,

You can set the Default Value property of the field to:
Date()
.... in order for this to happen when a new record is created.

To change this when the record is updated, probably need to use a VBA
procedure on the Before Update event of the form where the data is
edited. Like this:
Me.YourDateField = Date
