Problem with bound comboBoxes/DateTimePicker when adding new record

Question

Hi, My problem is that when I add a new record, DateTimePicker is showing today's date which is what I want, but the user has to select it again otherwise the value selected is null. IS there any way to programmatically select it again? The same problem i have with a combobox whose datasource is a column of a table and it's bound value is bound to another datasource. I have to explicitly select the combobox otherwise the value selected is null. Any ideas?
