How do I display the current date and/or time on reports?

Steps to Accomplish

1. Open Report Template Designer.
2. Select File > Open and open the report template to be modified.
3. Switch to the Designer view by clicking the Designer tab along the bottom of the Report Template Designer.
   
4. Drag a PageInfo control from the Standard Controls toolbar (View > Toolbars > Standard Control) or the Standard Controls area of the Tool Box (View > Windows > Tool Box) to the desired area of the template.  The PageInfo control looks like a box containing the text “1/1” after it is inserted.
   
5. Click the > arrow that appears on the upper right of the box for the control placed on the template.  This should reveal a Page Info Tasks pop up.
   
6. On the Page Info Tasks pop-up, set the Page Info field to “Current Date and Time”.
7. On the Page Info Tasks pop-up click the [...] button near the Format field. A Format String Editor dialog will appear.
8. Choose "Date and Time" from the Category list on the left.
9. Select the desired format, using the Preview area as a guide. Click OK when finished.
10. Click elsewhere on the template to close the Page Info Tasks pop-up
11. Right-click the page info control that was inserted and select Properties.
12. Use the Property Grid to set properties such as font style and size for the PageInfo control.
13. Preview the report by clicking the Preview tab.  It may be necessary to resize the control by dragging its handles to fit all the text.
