This really helped - Now I see what you mean by not having data in your
tables that changes. That clears up a lot of things for me. :-)

A table should contain only real, static data. You can display today's date in
a Query, or in the control source of a textbox on a Form or Report, using the
Date() function. You cannot do so (and should not do so, because no such
field should exist!) in a Table.
