Access: auto insert date

    Hi, I'm trying to insert a date automatically depending on the contents in another field.
    ie. I have a combo box ([Status]) with the choice of "OPEN" or "CLOSED", defaulting to "OPEN". My date field ([DateClosed]) has the following
    IIf([Status]="CLOSED",Date()).
    This works and inserts the date when "CLOSED" is selected, but the dateupdates the following day (today it will show 19/4/05, tomorrow 20/4/05 and so on).

    Is there any way I can lock this value? I have another date field ([LogDate]) where the default value is Date(). This behaves correctly in that the date won't change each day.

    Thanks, I know it's probably simple but I'm going round the houses here.
