MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The NOW function gives the date and time number for the current date and time. It is updated at every recalculation.

To insert a recalculating date or time, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Select the cell in which you want the date or time to appear.
 * 2) Enter “=NOW” (without the quotation marks) in the cell.
 * 3) Format the cell with the desired date or time format.

The Works Database treats the NOW function as a formula. Works displays the current date or time in the field for every record. The record must contain data in at least one other field in order to display the result of the NOW function.
