I have been investigating the Display Current date  issue on the Custom
List. [Today] does not work. Is there any way I can display current date
on the Custom List Column without create a View?

create a new field "Today" in custom  list . now use this list  in your
calulated field formula by using [Today] u can calculate  the difference
betwn 2 dates. later u can delete the "today" field. it 'll work
properly.

Can you tell me how to display
only the Current Date? In on a field in Custom List.

thr is a function [Today] for current date  , but by default we cant use
this function into the list  formula .
so u first add a new field and named it "Today". and then create a
formula for ur current date field and include [Today] in that formulla ,
once u successfuly craeted this formula u can delete the field
"Today".
try out this , it might be solve ur problem..............

I am not sure but is this a bug from Sharepoint.
I created  Today Field and added it on Current Field Formula. It took it
without error. I removed today  field and the date  worked. I am able to
get the Serial Number of the date, But the date is not getting changed
based on the Access Date. Suppose today's date is 17/04/2006 so tomorrow
when I open the portal it should show me 18/04/2006....

this may be an issue  with SP. i dont think tht this solution may work
for existing entries in the list. it 'll work only for new
entries..........

Create a Column Name "Today_Date"
Check on "Date and Time" for the (Type of Information)
Select Default value as Today's Date.

I hope this will solve you.. you will gete this column as today'date.

I am going ahead developing a web part to do this.........
