Any help that could be provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

First thing to know is that it's JavaScript, not Java. Similar names, but very different languages.

You can use this code:

this.getField("Date").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

The latter is easily done, the former not so much. You can access the "Login Name" property of the identity object, but it requires installing a script on the user's local machine.

Thanks. Any advise on how to do the date? This is the first form I'm creating with a button and I'm not too savvy with Java.
