A simple question I hope. I have created a card file with a date field on it called Created. When users press save, I'd like the date field to be filled in automatically if the date field is blank.

From the Screen Builder main menu select File|Screen Script.

On event 3 (save) you would execute the following script or similar:

If Mode = 3 .And. IsEmpty(SCRRead("Created"))
SCRWrite("Created", Today())
Endif

Sorry, how would I do this for recording the current time in my card file as well?

Make your time field character type, with a field length of 5 if you just want to record hours and minutes.

Assuming the field name is CREATETIME, your revised script would be:

If Mode = 3
If IsEmpty(SCRRead("Created"))
SCRWrite("Created", Today())
Endif

If IsEmpty(SCRRead("Createtime"))
SCRWrite("Createtime", Left(Time(), 5))
Endif
Endif
