Date into text feild

Question

Hi all
All I need to do is put a date into a text field. So when a new record is requested , today�s date will be placed into the date field.
Can anyone tell me how you do this?
Thanks to all
Craig

I have put your code into another file with the same results can you tack a look
package test_date;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
private JPanel contentPane;
private BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
private JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
private JTextField Date = new JTextField();
//Construct the frame
public Frame1() {
enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
try {
jbInit();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
//Component initialization
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
//setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(Frame1.class.getResource("[Your Icon]")));
contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(borderLayout1);
this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
this.setTitle("Frame Title");
jPanel1.setLayout(null);
Date.setText("jTextField1");
Date.setBounds(new Rectangle(136, 26, 131, 27));
contentPane.add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
jPanel1.add(Date, null);
//Overridden so we can exit when window is closed
protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
super.processWindowEvent(e);
if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
System.exit(0);
DateFormat datef = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
OrderDate.setText(datef.format(new Date()));
the error is in datef
thanks
