Not quite clear from your description if your field is a calculation, or, as
the phrase 'Auto-Enter' suggests, a date field that auto-enters a calc.

If the former (calculation), then setting the field to unstored will allow
it to re-jigger when the date changes, but you won't always see that
re-jiggering, as it may require some sort of activity to force it to update.

If the latter (non-calc date field), then it will not update except when a
new record is created.

Subject: Update an autoenter calculation based on today's date

I have an Auto-Enter calculation based on today's date (using
Get(CurrentDate)). I would like this calculation to update whenever the
date changes. I have tried things like making a calculated field called
Today and putting the Get(CurrentDate) function in that field. The Today
field updates fine, but the Auto-Enter calculation will not update.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks
