Re: Set Current Time?

This is valid and he field will be populated with the date/time that the button was clicked.
"&_fid_7=now"

This will populate the date/time that the page loaded, so typically better to use the above.
"&_fid_7=" & ToText(Now())

This is not valid
"&_fid_7=today"  it has to be 

"&_fid_7=" & ToText(Today())

    Meant to tell you Mark - 

    I tested "&_fid_7=today" to fill in a date field, and it worked. I have also used "&_fid_7"= URLEncode(Today()) which worked as well. I am not sure if the first one fills in the date of the button push (which would only matter if it was pushed at 11:59:59.59999pm).
