Wrong default in end and start date and company fields
I have created a custom Journal Form - Page 2. I have added the field End
Date - but it defaults to the date the form was created - as does the start date. I have also added the field "company" from the journal field picker - it also defaults to the date the field was added to the form,,,,,,why is this. (I know that this field is not related to contacts-I need to it record which Group did the work - and I'd like it to default to a particular text) The form was designed to be just like the default main page - but to include the end date so that the duration would be calculated. Thank you!

Wrong default in end and start date and company fields
You can put code in the form's Item_Open event handler to set start to right now:
Function Item_Open() If Item.Size = 0 Then Item.Start = Now() Item.End = Now() End If End Function You also could use a formula on each date field's control to accomplish the same thing. I don't know why the Company field would be playing games, but make sure you haven't set an initial value for it. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "JRO Mtn Group" wrote in message ...

Wrong default in end and start date and company fields
I'm not very experienced - how do I put a formula in the control- for the
date fields? I tried assigning the company field to a default text value but that didn't work either.

Wrong default in end and start date and company fields
Open the form in design mode. Drag the desired field to a custom page. Bring up the PRoperties dialog for the field and switch to the Value tab. Under "Initial Value," enter Now as the formula.
