Is there a hybrid option for default date?

I have "Default Date To Use For New Transactions" option set to "Last
Entered Date", which is convenient when I enter a sequence of
(presorted) invoices. But when I then open the Receive Payment window,
it defaults to the date of the last invoice that I entered, and if I
don't notice that I get all my payment dates wrong and have to go back
and correct them. I would like a hybrid option for Default Date which
uses the last entered date for new entries on an open form, but
Today's Date when opening a new form. Is there a way to do that in QB
Basic 2005?

Nope. Not even in 2009. I wish it did that. It would make my life easier.

Send feedback to Intuit and maybe they'll implement it some day.

Thanks Laura, I have submitted it to them several times but never
reached a human.
