I am using a calendar control on a form to set a despatch
date. I am having difficulty setting the value of the
control when adding a new record. The control is linked to
a field called DesDate and this has no default value when
a new record is added. I am using a toggle button to set
the visible property to true so the user can use the
calendar. After a value has been set the control value is
synchronised but for some reason if the control value is
null no default date appears when the calendar is visible
but the year defaults to 2005. I have tried to set the
value in the forms load event but this does not seem to
work. I have tried using
me.caldesdate.value = date() and
me.caldesdate.value = today

Any ideas?
