Default Bound Date/Time field to automatically display the current date

I have a bound form which has a field called WorkDate which I would like to
default to todays date...it also still needs to be able to be changed to a
different date. I have tried inserting =Date() in the On Load event of the
Bound Worked Date field, but no luck...the picker is still just sitting there
with nothing in the field.

Thank you for any help!
Best Regards,
Billiam

Set the DefaultValue of the field in the table to Date.
