Enter TimeStamps

[CDemo]

I am trying to develop a dispatch program using microsoft access, the only
thing I lack is the ability to enter the time/date automatically by clicking
in a field. I've noticed on other similar websites, members say that it
cannot be done in access, butI have seen this done in other access programs
similarly. One program clicked the field location, placing the cursor there
and then clicked a "clock" at the top, which subsequently entered the time
into the field. I have searched through books and everywhere with no luck.
I was able to automatically enter the time when a new table was added. Any
help or advice is greatly appreciated....I'm pulling my hair out!

Thanks,

Chris

The easiest way to add a timestamp is using the keyword/function 'now()'


you could have something like me![timestampField] = now()


Hope this helps
