Hi,

just add a trigger to the button to select today's date in the date_field you have - there is a function TODAY().

Create a button and variable name vVar = 0. on button put action:

Action Type= External

Set Variable and select variable vVar =: if(vVar =0,1,0)

Take one Text Box and write expression =: '=Today()'

Go to text box properties and select conditional show = 'vVar=1'

QVD attached.

Add one more action named "Select in Field", give your Date field name and matching string.
