lookup in putting create date into date field of all new records

[Margret Huebner]

I have placed the following expression in the lookup ini file hoping to
place the record create date in a real date field for future calculations.
It doesn't seem to be working, can anyone review this and let me know if you
see anything I have missed.
newrecord=Ulastship
[ulastship]
otherwise=&accdate(contact1->accountno)
overwrite=1

thank you

Did you have the [AutoUpdate] section header? It wasn't in the code that
you showed us.

Because I'm lazy and don't want to answer again, if you did have
[AutoUpdate] in your ini, then try this:

Otherwise=&dtos(accdate(Contact1->AccountNo))

Use the following:

[autoupdate]
NEWRECORD=ULASTSHIP

[ULASTSHIP]
otherwise=&(str(accdate(contact1->accountno)))
overwrite=1
