<div>
For example ...<br />
<br />
DateSerial(Year(Date()),Mo<wbr />nth(Date()<wbr />),0)<br />
Returns 04-30-2012
</div>


For example ...

DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),0)
Returns 04-30-2012

I have an Access 2003 form that when it opens, I want the text control, txtDate, to simply be the date of the End of the MOnth for the prior month. &nbsp;However, whenever I try to pass in today date via the Date function, it keeps error indicating it is a null value. &nbsp;Can a text field be initialized to a date usign the form open event? &nbsp;<br />
