Re: Time Stamp for Start of New Entry

OK, yes, I just did a test and was quite surprised that it changed the value of that field during the saving process.  I'm sure it is a feature and not a bug.  :)

So np, try Plan B.

make a new formula date / time field called [Current Date / Time] with a formula of
now()

Uncheck the setting on the [Date /Time form started] so that it is required but not unique and not defaulted to now.

make a form rule

When [Date / Time form started] is blank

change [Date / time form started' to the value on the field [current date/ time]

uncheck to fire all the time

If that does not work, I have Plan C, but it does seem to work for me.
