What is the syntax to put the current date or any date in the text
property of a text box.  I can do this with code but can not get the
correct syntax to add it in the properties window.  I have tried =Date()
etc but this does not work. TY.

Try setting the property to:
=Format(Now(), mm/dd/yy  hh:mm)

Or simpler yet:
TextBox1.Text = Now

That does the same thing :))

Ruben,

Using Now (by itself) you have no guarantee of the format of the output.
For example, you will find that if the program is run at midnight, the time
won't be displayed.

If you EVER want to format output in VB in a certain way, you must use the
Format command.
