I'm converting from MS Access 2000 database to a Visual Basic front end with Microsoft Access back end.
In MS Access, I can give a text box a default value. For instance, I'd like a text box to default to the system date. I can't seem to find a way to do that.

you have to do it in code on form_load, by setting the .text property to date.

Text1.text = date

For example.
