The code you included is incomplete. It does not populate any field. To
do that, the line that starts with "util" should read as follows:
getField("Datum").value=util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss", new
Date());
The error about having no properties is probably a separate issue.
Compare the exact spelling of your field name with your code. Pay
special attention to capital letters, since JavaScript is
case-sensitive.
Hope that helps.

I was trying to find the tread where Nicholas gave the following code:
if (this.getField('date_field').value =="") {
//if the field already has a value for some reason, we do not want to
insert today's date
util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss", new Date());
}
in order to fill in a field with the current system date. I used the
script but I get an error message that says that my date_field (in my
case, the field is called Datum) has no properties. Whether I insert
the script in the field, on as an event on the document/open, the date
field does not get filled.
Anyone can tell me what I may possibly be doing wrong?
Thx in advance!
