Hi Kelvin,

When I do that I get error, 'GETDATE' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

<div>
If I use Date I get error, Date is a type and cannot be used as an expression.<br />
<br />
When I used Now() it returned nothing...

I am working on a report and I need to add a calculated field for today date.<br />
<br />
I added a new field to the dataset named Today where I want to set an expression to capture the current date. When I preview the report the value shows up blank.<br />
<br />
Anyone can shed some light on it. Thanks in advance.<br />
