How to get the Current Date & Time Automatically to a Date Time Field
I have created a date time field I made today's date as the default value, Then I added it to a page layout and created a page, But the current Date Time is not picking up from the system.
I dont want to give the user to select a Date Time instead it should populated automatically
Is there anyway to achieve this without writing code in code behind files?

This is very similar to this question I think
- SO - How to get Date and current time from the Date/Time column in SharePoint Custom list
My answer there gives a few options such as using the built in Created field, using a calendar template, a JavaScript hack and a custom field type.

Does [Today] work?
If you have language pack applied to SharePoint, then you must use localized "Today" string.

Hi Janis, when we use Today - it gives following error "Calculated columns cannot contain volatile functions like Today and Me." It seems today cannot be used as a calculated column function. What we think is having a DATETIME field which will populate the current datetime only which needs to be coming from the system wihtout any coding. Is this possible? After this we can created a calculated text column to show the date time in a format we desire. But we stuck at the first problem. Thanks

You can't use TODAY in calculated columns - and the oft repeated fake column trick doesn't work. blog.pentalogic.net/2008/11/…

If you read the comments in this or any other article mentioning the trick you will see "It works great, Thanks!" then a few days later "Oh - its not working any more". Try it for yourself (but make sure you check again tomorrow).
