        <description><![CDATA[Open the Property Sheet for the date field control and click on the Event tab.  Use the On Dbl Click property to define what will happen when the control is double clicked.  In this case, I use Code Builder to simply set the date field equal to the current date.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[That's the date off the client PC....Not an issue in this case probably, but it's also the date, the entry was displayed, not the one it was posted to the database. So if say time to the second, or even millisecond is important....Also bear in mind daylight saving time, if you need to analyse intervals.So if datetime is critical, this is a bad move on several counts. Still if any of this is imporatnt you wouldn't be using access....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would agree with the previous message.  My preference is to use the Double Click event to add todays date.  A simple tooltip or label next to the form control makes the user aware of the option to double click for today.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a great tip to save people's time and frustration.However, I would suggest people think through whether this is appropriate for their app.As an example, we've recently put together a new Outage database to publish times, reasons and impacts of system outages. The problem is that not all Outages are logged on the day they are occurring. In fact, most aren't.We decided that it was important to make the person logging the outage think about the information they're entering. Not giving them the default in this case is more useful.So, as I said, it's  great usability tip, but you should consider whether it's appropriate. Personally, if the default date is incorrect more than perhaps 25% of the time, I'd make them choose it.Hope this is useful to someone!]]></description>
