I have a SharePoint list which is populated by an MS Access front end. There is a date field called DateofReivew, with the type "Date and Time". When I first put it into production, the users entered reviews and the current date/time was populated. Recently I was testing a new front end form and found the date was left blank. The value of the field was no longer set to Today. Therefore, I modified the field and set the Default Value to Today. (Menu option) That only picked up the date and not the time. (i.e. 12:00 AM) When I select Calculated Value and enter the formula =NOW(), it returns the following error: "The formula contains a syntax error or is not supported." Can you help?

Thanks, But I have tried using Today and now are working if update a sharepoint list item. Otherwise it is displaying the old date and time.

So What i have done is I have written a C# web service and deploy it in Sharepoint and make use of the web service in infopath to display the current date / time.

Hi ,

I am looking for the same thing. Did you manage to get the date into a form? Using now() and today() in infopath gives the client date not the servers.

Now() should work. What about that function isn't working for you? Have you tried using the today() function?

Remember that now() returns a date/time and today() returns a date only, so make sure you're using the right function for the right data type.
