Access Chart Question

I'm using Access 2003 and am trying to figure out how to insert a field on a chart that displays the current date when opened. I have created the chart on a form that updates automatically when the data changes and would like to have the matching date displayed. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Unbound

The easiest way to programmatically display the Current Date on a Chart is to modify the Chart's Title directly, as in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Me!<Chart Name here>.ChartTitle.Text = Format$(Now(), "dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy")
produces
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Sunday, May 25, 2008
Of course, you can vary the display of the Date
