Automatically displaying date and time in a date/time field on form initialize

Good day all;
I am trying to have the current date and time automatically be generated in a “date/time” field when the form is opened.
I went through the forum and found an entry from Srini “ xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());” . Of course this brought up a system message box with the date and time.
I then tried “DateTimeField1.rawValue = (“”+date())… This also gave me a system message box with the date and time…
Please let me know where I am going wrong

Found the answer... And yes... in was in the "help" section... What can I say I was making it a lot more crazy than I needed to.
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1.
In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2.
In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3.
Select the Runtime Property option.
4.
View the form in the Preview PDF tab.

  • I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

    I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

    You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
    You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
    There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
    http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
    And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
    There is stuff about recovery near the end.
    One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???

  • I cannot use data and voice at the same time.

    I cannot use data and voice at the same time.
    I am on Wifi (connected) and at the same time I am on a voice call. when I switch to my RSS feed reader it does not sync it comes out with a message cannot connect to internet, I thought it is a problem with the feed reader application, IE 10 behaves the same I cannot browse when I am on a voice call.
    This is a very basic issue, am I missing something? Please help.
    My Model is lumia 820 with the latest portico update.
    TIA

    I am aware that packet data via EDGE and voice cannot happen at the same time, surprisingly when I am on voice call I cannot connect to internet via Wifi too

    The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
    If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

  • Difference between P.O.date and P.O.created date

    Hi,
      Could you tell me difference between purchaseing doucment date and purchase order creaed date.
        Because some time in my org. po created after GR means in past date. So there is difference between
        po date and po created date. where this po created date is maintained in purchase order
               Thanks and Regards
                      Anil

    Dear Anil,
    Please check table EKKO with ta SE11.
    Created Date => EKKO-AEDAT
    Date on which the record was created
    Document date => EKKO-BEDAT
    Date on which the purchasing document was created
    EKKO-AEDAT = Date on which the record was created
    and also "Created By" also recorded automatically
    by system.
    Document date or EKKO-BEDAT normally default as
    today when you create the PO via ME21N. This field
    appear at top right of the screen. However this date
    can be change to any date that required.
    Thanks

  • Delivery not before date and Delivery not after date

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone help me in this issue, we need to map "delivery not before date" and "delivery not after date" from an EDI 850 into a sales order.
    Are there any fields to which we can map the data? if not would anyone suggest how to go about it?
    Thanks,
    Michelle.

    Michelle,
    We have a similar requirement, albeit we call it a Delivery Window. We have implemented this by mapping two E1EDK03 qualifiers (we use 033 & 034) to two Z fields extended to VBAK, which we then include in our Sales Order Delivery Date logic.
    Not very elegant, but then my understanding is that SAP has no concept of the Delivery Window.
    Cheers, Paul.

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

  • Req. delivery date and plan order finish date relationship

    Dear Experts,
    I have a question on setting the req. delivery date and plan order finish date relationship. Now, I want the plan order finish date is one day before the req. delivery date, is it possible to set it in configuration? Please advised! Many thanks!
    Regards,
    Matt Yim

    Matt,
    Please use a schedule margin key(SMK) in the material master MPR2 view which has float after production defined as 1day.
    If there are no SMK with that defination then you can define you own in customisation and assign the same in the material master. (SPRO--->Production ->MRP->Planning ->Scheduling and Capacity Parameters->Define Floats).

  • What's the need for capitalization date and 1st acq. posting date?

    hi guys,
    i was wondering what the system would do with capitalization date and first acquisition posting date ??
    and what will be the problem if i entered an asset value date (in the acquisition transaction) that's earlier than the capitalization date entered in the asset master record ?!

    In practice all assets are not put to use right from the date of purchase.Hence the concept of different dates arises.  One being the acquisition date and the other Capitalization date.
    I would buy an asset today but start using it from a later date.  Depreciation has to be calculated from the date of capitalization and not acquisition. But still for record purpose date of purchase would be important.  Hence both the dates are maintained.
    Hope this has clarified your doubts.
    Thanks
