Default Date Returns a -1 instead of month

[edowling]

I have a field on a form that I have set the default value to enter the current month. The string I used to do this is:

=Format(Now(),"mmmm&quot

When I open the form, the month does not show up in the correct format. Instead, it displays -1

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Lis

Try creating an empty test form and create a text box on it. Set the default value to your expression and try it. Then, compare the two controls from the one that is having trouble with the test version.

I tried to reproduce your problem, but it worked fine for me. So, there is obviously something else wrong.

Hope that helps,
