Paul,

I do just this. Here's how I do it:

In the GotFocus of the EditBox I have: ON KEY LABEL CTRL+D _screen.activeform.InsDate()
In the LostFocus I have: ON KEY LABEL CTRL+D

*** Procedure InsDate
thisform.edtMemoText.value=left(.value,.SelStart)+dtoc(date())+" "+right(.value,len(.value)-.SelStart)

This allows the date to be inserted at any point in the EditBox, not just at the end.
