    Hi,

    You can use emails "date created" template variable for this. To do so, go to "emails" menu and click "more options" link. In content text area, you will see this code :

    {entry_data}

    Simply change it to this code for showing your submission data/time.

    Your submission date : {date_created}
    {entry_data}

    Anyway what do you mean with "confirmation screen " ? is it review page or thank you/success page ?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your support. It works ok on the email receipt.

    I mean the thank you/success page. I have redirected this to a html document and was wandering is there away to put the date submitted in here

    Thanks

    I see .. you can use a session variable then, but you need to use PHP file in success page rather that HTML page. To do so, edit your "includes/post-functions.php" file and go to around line 1191 and you'll see this code :

    return $process_result;

    exactly above that line, you can add this code :

    $_SESSION['sess_date_created'] = $table_data['date_created'];

    then in your success page, you can add these code to show submit "date/time"

    <?php
    
    session_start();
    
    if (!empty($_SESSION['sess_date_created'])) {
    	echo 'Your register date : ' . $_SESSION['sess_date_created'];
    }
    ?>
