Your data does not contain a record for today. It's not possible to select a nonexisting value.

To use a button to select a date value you add a Select in Field action to the button on the Actions tab. Choose the Date field as target field and =today() as search string. Or =makedate(2009,5,5) to select a value that actually exists in your data.

Uhm... what?

Can you explain what you're trying to do and what you expect as a result. Please post a small qlikview document that illustrates the problem.
