I am using the "NOW" function in a form that automatically dates a form when
posted.
This has worked fine for years but in Outlook 2003 when you view the posted
form it changes the stored value on the form to the current date and time,
basically it is recalculating the form. What can be done to prevent this
filed from changing.
 
Show how you're using the Now() function in your form.

Using a label on the form, label contents are populated when new form is
created.

Set the Intial value of this field to: Now()
Calculate this formula when I compose a new form
 
Check the other setting you didn't mention -- whether it's set to calculate the formula automatically or only when you create a new form [item].
