enter dates payment checks arrive

[Jerre]

I have a form to record checks received but I don't know if I need to use a
text box to record the date each check is received or a label

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Labels aren't interactive: they can only display what they're told to
display.

To be able to input a value, you'd need a text box.

On the other hand, if you're always going to be recording today's date, you
could just have a button that sets the value.

Jerre,

You can use a textbox. If you're using Access 2007 you can set the Show
Date Picker property on the Format properties tab to "For Dates" (without the
quotes).
