Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me how I would set the value of a textbox or object to display the current date? I'm guessing I would do it using either vb.net or c#, I'm a newb at both. Appreciate any help in advance.

Add this as your expression for the textbox:
=Globals!ExecutionTime.ToLongDateString()
September 20, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Yes that would work Jason, I prefer to use the formatted version so that my end users see a more friendly date.
=Today would show 10/29/2007 12:00:00 AM
=Globals!ExecutionTime.ToLongDateString() would show Monday, October 29, 2007
Also, using the built in Global function ExecutionTime I was guaranteed the time that the report was run which is what my client wanted and not today's date on a cached report.
