default values
--

Hi Bill,

"The calendar will always go to todays date because of the code Now() used."

are you wanting to store date AND time?  If so, then Now() would be
correct -- but if you just wanted a Date, the you should use Date()

"The calendar will always go to todays date"

it seeems that you are actually wanting the default value to be this:

dMax([DateField},[Tablename])

"How do I make the date stay at the last date that was enetered?"

dLast([DateField},[Tablename])

assuming that the last record entered has the date that you are looking for

... if you provide more details about your forms and controls, we can be
more specific

"How do I make the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift buttons stay at last
 shift selected after data has been entered?"

dLast([ShiftField},[Tablename])

assuming that the last record entered has the shift that you are looking for

Warm Regards,
Crystal
