Problem with linked database form fields

djchang · Post by **djchang** » Mon Jul 19 2004

I am trying to creat a form field that will generate the date from a simple linked database. The access database I am using has a table with just one record for Date with a default value of =now(). But when I insert this field into the file made by PDF Creator (demo version) and click compile, the field comes back "!error" rather than displaying the date.

Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong?

Hello,

If in the Creator the function =now() is entered in the field and "!error" will be generated when compiling. The PDF Creator can not compute the function =now().

But if you have dates in the database, these dates values will be appear properly in the PDF Creator.

Hope this helps.
