@JMRKERAug 07.2009 — First off, I would change the name of your function as I believe it is a reserved function in JS

The following is un-tested because you did not include much of the other code:
<i>
</i>function set_Accp_Date() {
var now = new Date();
var dd = now.getDate(); // add test for values &lt; 10, for example 2 become 02 (if desired ???)
var mm = now.getMonth()+1; // similar test so 8 becomes 08 (if desired ???)
var yyyy = now.getFullYear();
var str = dd+'/'+mm+'/'+yyyy;
document.form1.Accp_Date.value = str;
}

Check out the numerous tutorials on Date() for JS (google?) or search this forum for other examples.
