I am using the "NOW" function in a form that automatically dates a form when
posted.
This has worked fine for years but in Outlook 2003 when you view the posted
form it changes the stored value on the form to the current date and time,
basically it is recalculating the form. What can be done to prevent this
filed from changing.
