amurphy,

The date() function will return the current date. You can make a data selection, use a custom data selection, and use:

=date(false)

To get the date in short date format. For the long date format with the day and month name, use:

=date(true)

Note that the result of the "date" function is based on your system's regional settings, and can vary from machine to machine, depending on how you have your regional settings setup.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Raphaël Lalonde Lefebvre
