Have a form ope to the current date

[Debbie]

I have a database that is used to track time spent on
projects. It is a multiuser db.
I created a date table that I have the date in until
1/1/2004. When the user opens the form to input data it
opens to the first record. I am trying to get it to open
to the current date. I am not having any luck it seems as
if this one should be easy. But it is totally frustrating
because I can not seem to figure it out.

I have a subform on this form.


Thanks in advance for any help with this. It would be nice
to know if I am doing something wrong or if I am trying to
do somethihng that is impossible.

In the OnLoad event of the form try:

Me.Recordset.FindFirst "[DateField] = " & Date
or
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "[DateField] = #" & Date & "#"
