Access 2003. I have a field in a form that should automatically show today's
date when I add a new record. It is set up as Date$() in the table the form
is drawing from. When I add a new record, I get #NAME? in the field until I
enter data into the form. Then it changes the date field to today's date.
I compared the setup to another database that is set up exactly the same
that is working correctly (it shows today's date when I add a new record).
What is even more bizarre is that I do not have this issue on my computer,
and the rest of the staff has the issue. We are pulling from the same
database.
Any ideas?

Just a possibility...
Go to one of the PCs that is doing this.
Open the application and go to the Modules ... open any one of them.
Check the Tools | Relationships menu choices ... are any of the checked
relationships prefixed with MISSING?

=Date()
Hope that helps
