[Discussion] Help with DBExpert

[David Azarewicz]

I have written and continue to use several extremely complex DBExpert 
applications.

To do what you are trying to do, I put something like 

=dbeSetValue('TheNameOfYourTextField', dbeDate(''))

into the 'After Open' field of the form attribute, not the field attribute.

If you need more help, just ask.
