That's what I think I'm looking for when I look for answers in the Access
Help files. Anybody know of a good training book that has a great index for
getting questions answered on my own?
Meantime. How can I create a new control in a form to auto input the
date/time that the record was created? Much thanks.
 
Hughie,

Assuming you have a field, Date/Time data type, in your table for
DateCreated or whatever you have called it, you can have a textbox on
the form which is bound to this field. To get it to automatically log
when the record was created, just set the Default Value property to
Now(). This can be done in the Default Value property of the field in
the design of the table, or the Default Value property of the textbox on
the form... in this case it probably doesn't matter which you choose.
