interdev_programming thread: Assigning a default value (date function) to textbox
I've used the Rule Zero wizard to create an browsable data entry form for
an application I am working on. It uses the Form Manager and the standard
array of "New" "Save" "Delete", etc. buttons.
The way I want it to work is this: When the user clicks "New", a new
record is opened, but certain fields are already filled out (timestamp,
for instance). One of these fields is attached to a textbox, for which
the correct entry will usually be today's date.
I went into the Form Manager properties, found the appropriate action, and
tried to add the Textbox/value/date (object/member/value) into the grid on
the properties box.
When I tested it, the following text showed up in the textbox:
"function Date() { [native code]}" (without quotes)
Obviously, I did something wrong. What was it?
Thanks in advance.
