Date field - automation

[tehllama]

Version 2002. How can I have the date field automatically adopt the
date of the creation of the record? I've checked the help file but
I'm either asking the wrong question or not understanding the answer.
TIA.

Tehllama,

In design view of the table, set the Default Value property of your date
field to:
Date()

Open the Table in design view and select the field. In the lower left
corner in the box of field properties, set the Default Value property
to

Date()
