Can you try this formula:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;concat(today(); &amp;quot;T00:00:00&amp;quot;) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;or&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;now() &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Today's Date Field Error when previewed + formatting is wrong</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/57611.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Aug 2010 03:58:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:57611</guid><dc:creator>cdmit</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/57611.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=57611</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am using&amp;nbsp;infopath 2010 with a form linking to&amp;nbsp;a sharepoint 2010 list.&amp;nbsp;I have created a date field on my form. In the properties of the field for the &amp;#39;default value&amp;#39; I have selected the fx button and then selected &amp;#39;Insert Function&amp;#39; and&amp;nbsp;selected date &amp;gt; today. This puts today() in the formula. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I preview the form it shows the date with a dotted red box, indicating something is wrong. When I run the design checker from the file menu it does not specify any error. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Additionally,the formatting is not as I specified in the properties. It is 2010-08-04 instead of 04/08/2010. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Can someone please help me undersand how to get a date on the form formatted correctly. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
