I find setting the default values for date/time fields in Access
to Date (), Now() or Time() to be highly inaccurate because the
value is set when the new row is displayed, not when data is
initially being entered and not when it is actually saved. So if
I go to a new record on 12/28/2009 at 11:50 pm, but do not
actually start entering anything until 12/29/2009 at 12:15 am and
do not actually save it until 12/29/2009 at 12:45 am, it will save
with a creation date of 12/28/2009 and a creation time of 11:50
pm. Which is just plain wrong.

That's something I never considered.

But I still prefer the default values in the table, nonetheless.
