forms6 - default value for date item

I havent used forms for yonks, and am having some trouble with default values for a date item (column) for a data block. Basically the item is of [Quoted] data type property "Date", ive set the format mask to DD/MM/YYYY. When I try to enter a value for the "initial value" property I get the error:

FRM-11328 Initial value is invalid;correct format is DD/MM/YYYY

Ive tried all sorts of combo's of to_date and to_char with no luck. All I wanted to do is put in the current system date as the default without having [Quoted] to code a trigger.

ideas?

Cheers
