Default Date

This question is in regards to a text box on a form in Access. Is there a way to make the default value setting default to the first day of the current month?

Try, e.g. in the OnOpen event of the form:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. me.txtDatefield = dateserial(year(date),month(date),1)
  2.

Something like
=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1)

Kind regards,
