Hi Elyse,

I found a way to accomplish this last night that I thought you might be interested in, its just a few lines of code in the Keypress event that also allows me to insert the date at any point instead of just at the end.

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
if nKeyCode = 20 and nShiftAltCtrl = 2 then  &&CTRL+T
	nodefault
	keyboard dtoc(date()) clear
endif

I would also appreciate any comments if this is not a good idea, as I am fairly new to Visual Foxpro and can always use any helpful insight.

Regards,

Paul
