Al thanks a whole bunch - you saved me a lot of time. I hope to do the same for someone else one day.
BTW, I had tried to search in eclipse the same way as you (before I posted) but I guess I did it wrong ... Please let me know if it is bad form to say thanks on the list (clutter?) but given that it was my first post .... --------------- Tej, There is a variable that is automatically put into the widget environment, called, nowTimestamp. Here is a line from a form file that I found by using the eclipse search function (contrainted it to *.xml, *.ftl files): <field name="fromDate"><date-time default-value="${nowTimestamp}"/></field> -Al On 2/13/07, tej minhas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Where can I find out how to set a form/screen field to the current date - similar to "now-timestamp-to-env" in simple methods.
Apologies for bad/improper terminology as I am a newbie to OFBIZ Thanks
