We have a form and want the date the form is submitted to show on the form.

The form is just sent via email, not stored any wheres.

I have tried many different ways and still can not make the date just fill in when they open the form.

The simpler the better if that is possible.

Thanks

To answer your question you need to be more specific about the choices you have made for designing the form and what you are receiving by e-mail.

Did you design your form with Acrobat Form tool or LiveCycle Designer?

What are you sending by emial, the PDF, FDF, or XML file?

When are you filling in the date on the form, on sumbission or upon opening?

If upon opening, does the date change if the form is saved and reopened on another date?

At the end where is ask for their email address I want to put a filed which will have todays date when they open the form.

Everytime they open the form it will have todays date

The code below will give you the current date. Set the language to formcalc and for show use calculate. This works in Adobe 6,7,8


$.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt("%d@x %b %Y"))


I hope this helps you.
